A projectile fired at Ukraine violated Polish airspace, the country’s army has claimed | |
Warsaw summoned the Russian ambassador on Sunday after claiming that a missile launched at Ukraine had briefly entered Polish territory. | |
According to the Operational Command of the Polish army, a Russian air-launched missile entered Polish airspace for roughly 40 seconds at 4:23am local time near the southeastern village of Oserdow. The intended target of the strike was in western Ukraine, it said. | |
“Poland will demand explanations from the Russian Federation in connection with another violation of the country’s airspace,” the Foreign Ministry added in a statement on its website. | |
Moscow has not commented on the matter. The Russian Defense Ministry reported during a briefing on Sunday that its warplanes had carried out strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. | |
