TL;DR

Polish F-16 fighter jets were scrambled after a Russian cruise missile breached Poland's airspace during a significant attack on Ukraine. The missile was closely monitored by Polish and NATO radar systems, and air defense forces were prepared to respond. Poland summoned the Russian charge d’affaires for an explanation, while Russia denied any breach. The incident occurred amidst the largest day of Russian airstrikes on Ukraine, with 158 missiles and UAVs launched, and 87 missiles and 27 drones intercepted by Ukrainian defenses. This event marks the third recent airspace violation in Poland related to the conflict, following a deadly missile strike in November 2022 and the discovery of an unarmed Russian missile in April 2023.
