Poland Says Russian Missile Briefly Entered Its Airspace

A Russian missile briefly entered Poland’s airspace on Friday after Moscow attacked neighboring Ukraine with the biggest aerial barrage of the 22-month invasion, army commanders said in Warsaw.

The missile flew over the border at around 7 a.m. and traveled about 40 kilometers (25 miles) deep into the Polish airspace before returning to Ukraine, General Wieslaw Kukula told a news conference.

Poland, a NATO and European Union member, has been on alert ever since a stray rocket killed two people in a village in eastern Poland more than a year ago, following one of Russia’s previous attacks on Ukraine. Another missile was discovered in the woods in central Poland earlier this year, five months after it entered the country’s airspace.
