Donald Tusk Confirms Russian Cruise Missile Violation of Polish Airspace During Massive Strike on Ukraine
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed that a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile violated Polish airspace and landed in an undeveloped area near the village of Tarnawa-Kolonia. The missile, which was part of a massive Russian strike against Ukraine, left a 10-meter-wide crater in the field. Tusk stated that while the Polish military was prepared to shoot down the missile, it landed safely without causing immediate casualties in Poland. During the same overnight assault, Russia launched over 70 missiles and 280 drones against Ukraine, resulting in significant damage to infrastructure and at least eight deaths. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy attributed the casualties to a critical shortage of air defense missiles from partners. The administration announced that the strike targeted military positions and logistics centers. The incident highlights the growing risk of escalation as Russian forces continue to pressure Ukraine. Tusk remains in contact with NATO and European leaders to monitor the security of the region.
