Poland deploys air defences as Russia launches new strikes on Ukraine
"Polish and allied aircraft are operating in our airspace, while ground-based air defence and radar reconnaissance systems have been brought to the highest state of readiness, Poland's operational command said in a post on X early on Sunday. These actions are preventive in nature and are aimed at securing the airspace and protecting citizens, especially in areas adjacent to the threatened region, the statement added."

In a statement posted on Telegram, Ivan Fedorov, head of the southeastern Zapoprizhia region, said that a Russian combined strike killed a woman and wounded six other people, including a 16-year-old girl."
