An overnight Russian missile attack on western Ukraine resulted in an explosion inside Poland near its border with Ukraine, creating a 10-meter-wide crater. Polish armed forces are investigating the incident as a possible missile incursion into NATO territory after detecting at least 12 missiles over western Ukraine. An unidentified object was detected moving westward in Polish airspace near the village of Tarnawa-Kolonia, about 60 miles from the Ukraine border, causing fighter jets to scramble. Investigations revealed a crater and fragments of an unknown object in a rural field near Tarnawa-Kolonia. This incident marks a significant potential escalation as it may be the first Russian missile crash inside NATO since the start of the Ukraine war. The aggression coincided with a large bombardment across Ukraine involving 74 missiles and 284 drones, hitting cities including Lviv and Kyiv, causing civilian casualties and damage to residential buildings and infrastructure. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk travelled to the incident site. The event follows prior incidents where Ukrainian defense missiles struck Polish territory, and occurred amid ongoing heavy daily Russian strikes killing civilians in Ukraine.
