Poland’s eastward hub, capital of Lublin Voivodeship
Poland has found debris and a 10m crater near Tarnawa-Kolonia after an object that Polish and NATO radars tracked disappeared from airspace and crashed; Warsaw and NATO say evidence points to a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile that crossed into Polish airspace during a large overnight Russian strike on Ukraine that has killed at least eight people.
Poland's prime minister has warned intelligence shows Russia is preparing hybrid drone and missile strikes that will be framed as accidents to weaken NATO's collective defence. European governments and NATO commanders are reinforcing air defences, planning infrastructure protections and holding consultations as cross‑border strikes and covert sabotage have increased since 2025.
