Poland will demand an explanation from Russia regarding “a new violation of its airspace” by a Russian cruise missile, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Warsaw announced on Sunday, AFP reports.
“First of all, we ask the Russian Federation to stop terrorist airstrikes on the Ukrainian population and the territory of Ukraine, to stop the war and to solve the country’s internal problems,” the ministry’s spokesman, Pavel Vronskyi, said in a communiqué.
The Polish military said that Russia violated Poland’s airspace on Sunday morning by firing a cruise missile at targets in western Ukraine.
About 40 seconds ago, “one of the cruise missiles launched at night by the aviation (…) of the Russian Federation violated the airspace of Poland,” the operational command of the Polish Armed Forces said.
“The object entered the Polish airspace near the village of Ozerdow (in the east) and remained there for 39 seconds,” the source said, stressing that the missile was monitored by military radars throughout the flight.
After this incident, “all necessary procedures were implemented to ensure the safety of Polish airspace,” the press release of the operational command of the armed forces also states.
