Russia launched a ballistic missile and drone barrage across Ukraine, killing at least 10 civilians and injuring over 50. The attacks, which officials said targeted areas where weapons are believed to be stored and manufactured, expanded Russia's near-daily bombardment of Ukrainian cities.
During the onslaught, a Russian missile entered Polish airspace, prompting NATO to scramble warplanes. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte described it as a 'reckless act by Russia,' while Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated Poland was not the target.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appealed for increased Western support, particularly for anti-ballistic missile systems, citing a critical shortage exacerbated by the war in Ukraine and depleted U.S. stocks from the Iran war.
In a separate, larger attack, Russia launched hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles, killing at least 22 civilians and wounding 138 across Ukraine, including in Dnipro and Kyiv.
