Ukraine-Russia war live: Poland accuses Putin of violating airspace with missile attack on Lviv
Poland has accused Russia of violating its airspace this morning with a cruise missile launched at targets in western Ukraine.
Russia launched 57 missiles and drones on Ukraine in the early hours, including attacking Kyiv and the western region of Lviv that is near the Polish border.
“On March 24 at 4:23 a.m. (0323 GMT), there was a violation of Polish airspace by one of the cruise missiles launched overnight by long-range aviation of the Russian Federation,” the armed forces said on the social media platform X.
“The object entered Polish space near the town of Oserdow (Lublin Voivodeship) and stayed there for 39 seconds. During the entire flight, it was observed by military radar systems.”
The Polish Foreign Ministry said it would demand explanations from Russia over the airspace violation.
Poland calls on Russia “to stop terrorist air attacks on the inhabitants and territory of Ukraine, end the war and address the country’s internal problems,” the ministry’s spokesman said in a statement.
