Russia missile hits Poland as strikes kill 10 in Ukraine
A Russian missile and drone barrage across Ukraine killed at least 10 civilians, including children, and prompted NATO to scramble jets after one missile crossed into Poland. The overnight attack targeted multiple regions, striking residential areas and critical infrastructure. Ukrainian officials confirmed the death toll, which included minors, though the exact number of children was not immediately specified. The missile that entered Polish airspace was tracked by NATO forces, which responded by deploying fighter jets. Poland, a NATO member, has not reported any casualties or damage from the incident. The alliance said it was monitoring the situation and remained in contact with Polish authorities. It is the latest in a series of cross-border incidents linked to Russia’s ongoing strikes on Ukraine. Russia has not yet commented on the missile’s trajectory or the reported border violation. The attack marks one of the deadliest single barrages in recent weeks, as Moscow continues its aerial campaign against Ukrainian cities and energy sites.
