Ukraine battered by broad Russian strikes as eight killed; Poland scrambles jets
Russian air strikes across Ukraine killed at least eight people, including in Kyiv, with casualties reported in Kryvyi Rih and the Dnipropetrovsk region, and attacks reaching as far as Lviv. Poland scrambled fighter jets to protect its airspace as Zelenskiy returned from the US, where Trump reportedly pledged Patriot missile licenses. Russia said it targeted military facilities nationwide. The strikes heightened security concerns across the region and prompted rapid emergency responses.
