Warsaw reported a 'long busy night for the entire air defense system in Poland.'
Poland scrambled its fighter jets to protect its air space during a Russian missile bombardment that covered all of Ukraine overnight.Since February, the NATO member, which has been a key ally for Kyiv for both equipment and training, has regularly deployed its aircraft as a security measure as Moscow stepped up its missile strikes on Ukraine.
The Russian attacks also consisted of 35 Kh-101/555 cruise missiles launched from Tupolev Tu-95 bomber planes over the Caspian Sea, four Iskander-M ballistic missiles and one Iskander-K cruise missile from Crimea.Russian forces also launched 10 Kalibr cruise missiles from the northeastern Black Sea, three Kh-59/69 guided air-launched missiles from occupied territories in the Zaporizhzhia region, and 47 Shahed-type drones from the Russian town of Primorsko-Akhtarsk, the air force said.
