The incident of a Russian missile in Poland’s airspace has raised concerns and tensions between the two countries. On the night of Sunday, March 24, a Russian missile was launched towards Ukraine and violated Poland’s airspace for 39 seconds. This prompted the country’s Foreign Ministry to call on Russia to stop terrorist attacks in Ukraine, end the war, and address internal issues.
According to the Polish Ministry of Defense, the missile landed near the town of Okerdov, on the border with Ukraine. The Russian side has not yet commented on the incident. This comes after Warsaw previously reported a Russian cruise missile passing over Poland and hitting Ukraine on December 29, 2023.
Warsaw is seeking an explanation from Moscow regarding this latest incident in its airspace. The Polish government demands accountability and a clear explanation from Moscow regarding this violation of its territory. This situation highlights the ongoing conflict in the region and underscores the need for diplomatic dialogue to prevent further escalation. It remains to be seen how Russia will respond to these accusations and demands from Poland regarding this missile incident in its airspace.
