"Escalating Tensions: Russian Strikes Trigger Ukraine's NATO Ally to Scramble Fighter Jets"
Poland deployed fighter jets after a Russian missile launched towards Ukraine changed course and headed towards the Polish border, prompting increased aviation activity and noise levels in the country. Ukrainian authorities reported multiple missile explosions, with some 20 Russian missiles downed by Ukrainian air defense forces near Kyiv. Poland's armed forces had previously scrambled fighter jets in January to protect its airspace from Russian missiles targeting Ukraine, and had also reported a Russian missile intruding into Polish airspace in December.
