Stray Russian missile enters Polish airspace during massive Ukraine barrage
Poland's Operational Command detected a Russian missile entering its airspace at 3:40 a.m. local time on August 3. The missile, believed to be part of a larger strike targeting western Ukraine, moved westward before exiting. Poland scrambled F-16 fighter jets in response. This incident occurred as Russia launched 35 missiles and 185 drones against Ukrainian cities, including a heavy ballistic attack on Kyiv that killed at least nine civilians.
