Poland's military scrambled fighter jets overnight as Russian missile and drone strikes targeted Ukraine, resulting in five deaths and widespread power outages. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the attacks, which focused on Lviv and Zaporizhzhia, leaving tens of thousands without electricity. Russia launched over 50 missiles and around 500 drones, claiming to hit military and infrastructure targets. Zelensky emphasized the need for improved air defense and suggested a unilateral ceasefire could facilitate diplomacy. The strikes come amid heightened tensions, with the U.S. supporting Ukraine's capability for deep strikes into Russian territory. Meanwhile, Poland and allied aircraft heightened their readiness in response to the escalating threat.
