Poland demands answers after Russian missile crosses border

A Russian Kh-101 missile struck eastern Polish territory on Thursday, prompting Warsaw to summon the Russian ambassador and issue a formal protest. The incident adds to mounting regional anxiety as NATO officials grapple with repeated airspace incursions, heightening the risk of the conflict in Ukraine expanding beyond its borders.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maciej Wewior confirmed the government delivered a stern condemnation of the hostile action, emphasizing the threat posed to citizens and the potential for a catastrophic aviation disaster. While the Russian embassy in Warsaw remained silent regarding the request for comment, Polish officials moved quickly to analyze the debris found at the impact site.

Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz revealed that the projectile was manufactured near Moscow during the second quarter of this year. He argued this discovery exposes a critical shift in Moscow's military capability, suggesting that Russia is relying on newly minted munitions to sustain its campaign in Ukraine due to exhausted wartime stockpiles.
