NATO fighter jets have been scrambled after Russia launched a massive attack early Monday near Poland’s border in Western Ukraine.
Poland activated its air force in response to a major Russian missile and drone barrage.
The assault was the largest of its kind in the region to date.
The operation underscored the growing threat to NATO’s eastern flank.
It also comes amid the increasing volatility just beyond Poland’s borders.
Warsaw confirmed that both Polish and allied aircraft took to the skies amid a major Russian strike.
Russia’s attack included nearly 500 drones and multiple missile attacks.
One of the targets was the Dubny airbase in Rivne.
The base is perilously close to Polish territory.
Moscow also launched Kinzhal hypersonic missiles and Kh-22s, with some striking Snake Island in the Black Sea.
These are not tactical skirmishes — these are strategic moves.
Poland, a key NATO member and logistical lifeline for Ukraine, has been on high alert.
In recent months, Russian missiles have violated Polish airspace, with Warsaw demanding accountability.
