Russian barrage on Ukraine kills at least 8 as missile breaches Polish airspace

Daily Sabah (Turkey)—A Russian missile briefly crossed into Polish airspace during the latest barrage on Ukraine, prompting Warsaw to scramble fighter jets to protect NATO territory as the death toll from the strikes climbed toward 13. The attack, involving dozens of missiles and hundreds of drones, came just two days after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met Trump in Washington to press for more Patriot air-defense systems — a request Trump has since agreed to license for export. Russia says it targeted air bases, arms factories and logistics hubs, though strikes also hit residential areas, killing at least 8 people including children. Zelensky had warned days earlier that a mass attack was imminent, calling the ongoing bombardment 'evil that can only be stopped by the whole world.'
