Poland has demanded an explanation from Russia after it reported that one of its missiles was briefly lost in Polish airspace during a major missile attack in Ukraine.
The Polish Foreign Ministry intends to summon the Russian ambassador after the incident prompted the NATO member to activate F-16 fighter jets. The missile was part of Russia's third major attack on Ukraine in the past four days, and the second to target the capital, Kiev.
Warsaw's foreign ministry said it would seek explanations from the Russian Federation about another violation of the country's airspace.
" Above all, we call on the Russian Federation to stop terrorist airstrikes on the people and territory of Ukraine, end the war and address the country's internal problems.
A cruise missile entered Polish airspace at 4:23 a.m. local time over the village of Oserdow, between half a mile and a mile above the border, for 39 seconds ," Warsaw said.
Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said the missile would have been shot down if there had been any indication it was heading for a target in Poland.
Andrzej Szejna, a deputy foreign minister, told TVN24 that the ministry intended to summon the Russian ambassador to Poland and hand him a note of protest. A missile killed two Polish citizens in 2022, which Western officials said was mistakenly fired by a Ukrainian air defense system.
