Ukraine-Russia war latest: Poland scrambles jets as Putin bombards western Ukraine with drones and missiles
Polish and Nato aircraft were scrambled on Sunday morning as Russia launched a new wave of aerial attacks against Ukraine.
Ukraine’s air force said the entire country was under air raid alerts and the mayor of Lviv, a western city just 70km from the border with Poland, warned of incoming missiles.
On Saturday, a Russian drone strike against a railway station hit a passenger train, killing one and wounding 30, as Moscow stepped up strikes on Ukraine’s rail and power networks.
Meanwhile, German media reported that drones had been spotted at airports and military installations across Germany over the past two days, suggesting sightings this week at Munich Airport were the tip of the iceberg.
Dozens of flights were diverted or cancelled at Munich Airport on Friday after both runways were closed following the second drone sighting in two days.
There is mounting concern that Russia could be behind a growing number of recent drone incursions in the airspace of Ukraine’s European allies.
