NATO Fighter Jets Scrambled After Russian Long-Range Attacks
NATO member Poland scrambled fighter jets overnight after Russia launched long-range strikes on western Ukraine, Warsaw's military said on Thursday.
Ukraine's defense ministry said that Russia had launched a "massive attack" overnight involving cruise and ballistic missiles, along with drones. At least nine people were killed in Kyiv and more than 70 others injured, Ukrainian officials said.
Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine have occasionally spilled over into NATO nations like Poland and Romania, which border Ukraine.
NATO members are collectively obliged to respond to attacks on alliance nations with full force.
Drones and missiles entering NATO airspace have not been treated as attacks on the alliance so far, but Polish authorities have scrambled aircraft several times in recent weeks because of Moscow's aerial attacks on Ukraine.
On Thursday, Poland's Operational Command of the Armed Forces said that its military and other NATO forces responded to Russia's long-range jets carrying out strikes "on objects located, among others, in western Ukraine."
Poland scrambled fighter jets and put ground-based air defense and radar reconnaissance systems on "the highest state of readiness" to protect NATO territory bordering Ukraine, Warsaw said.
