At least 13 killed in Russian attacks on Ukraine as Poland investigates airspace violation – Europe live
Russian missile and drone strikes on Ukraine have killed at least 13 people, prompting Poland to investigate an airspace violation after debris was found on its territory. President Zelenskyy has called for increased air defense support from international partners.
Why it matters
The escalation of attacks and the potential breach of NATO airspace by Russian assets pose significant risks to regional security and international stability.
At least 13 people were killed and dozens injured in another night of heavy Russian attacks on Ukraine , with neighbouring Poland also investigating an reported airspace violation and explosion on its territory.
Russia launched 74 missiles and 284 drones against targets in Ukraine, with casualties reported primarily in Dnipropetrovsk and Lviv regions.
“This Russian terror once again proves that protection against the Russian missile threat is the most important,” Zelenskyy said in response to the attacks, adding Ukraine faced a “critical shortage of air defence missiles from our partners”.
