Russia has initiated airstrikes on Ukraine’s capital Kiev and the western region of Lviv, leading neighboring Poland to activate its air force. The Polish Armed Forces Operational Command reported a Russian cruise missile violating its airspace near Oserdow, prompting heightened readiness. Ukrainian officials disclosed multiple missile and drone attacks targeting critical infrastructure in Lviv, with explosions also reported in Kiev. These assaults follow a terrorist attack in Moscow, with President Putin blaming Ukraine, intensifying tensions between the nations. Despite Russian military advances, Kiev vows to retaliate, setting the stage for further escalation in the conflict.
