Poland’s military announced on Tuesday that it had flown four F-16 fighter jets to monitor the border with Ukraine, following…
…the heavy Russian bombing of the neighboring country.
Poland raised F-16 fighter jets due to Russian bombing of Ukraine
“To guarantee the safety of Polish airspace, two pairs of F-16 fighters and an allied air tanker were activated,” the operational command of the Polish army announced.
On Tuesday morning, the Russian military carried out a new series of large-scale airstrikes against Ukraine, killing at least four civilians and injuring more than 90, mostly in Kyiv and Kharkiv.
Poland, a NATO member, announced on Friday that its airspace had been violated by a Russian “cruise missile” that flew over its territory for three minutes, after which he went to Ukraine.
Polish civil and military authorities therefore held emergency meetings with NATO representatives and the Polish air defense system was put on alert.
A similar incident occurred in November 2022 when a Ukrainian missile fell on the Polish village of Przewodow, near the border with Ukraine, killing two civilians.
