A massive Russian drone and missile attack on Ukraine triggered a three-hour scramble of Polish and allied NATO aircraft, including Swedish Gripen fighters. Hundreds of drones and missiles targeted Ukrainian sites, resulting in at least eight injuries in Kyiv from a residential building strike. Ukraine's air force reported shooting down most of the projectiles. Simultaneously, a drone crossed into Lithuania from Belarus, prompting a search. Ukrainian officials condemned the attack, highlighting Russia's disregard for ceasefire calls and emphasizing the need for stronger sanctions and military aid.
