A Russian ballistic missile and drone barrage across Ukraine overnight killed at the least 10 civilians, including children, and injured greater than 50 others, officials said Thursday, and NATO scrambled its warplanes after considered one of the missiles crossed the country\u2019s western border into Poland.<\/p>\n

The blitz expanded Russia\u2019s almost every day bombardment of Ukrainian cities, including the capital of Kyiv where tens of 1000’s spent the night sheltering in subway stations, as Moscow apparently looked to use Kyiv\u2019s critical shortage of Western-supplied anti-ballistic missile defenses.<\/p>\n

NATO said a Russian missile entered Polish airspace in the course of the onslaught and landed in a rural area. It caused no injuries or damage but could deepen tensions between the military alliance and Moscow, as wary European countries fear the 4-year-old war could spill into their territory.<\/p>\n

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte called it \u201cone more reckless act by Russia and a dangerous consequence of its war against Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Canada unequivocally condemns Russia\u2019s abhorrent strikes on Ukraine last night that killed civilians and left many injured. The strikes were also an unjustifiable incursion into Polish airspace.<\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s fight is our fight. Canada will work relentlessly with our Allies until a\u2026<\/p>\n

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said it was \u201ca really serious incident,\u201d but added: \u201cThere are absolutely no reasons to consider that Poland was the goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s barrage struck areas of Ukraine where weapons are believed to be stored and manufactured. Ukrainian long-range drones and missiles have battered Russia\u2019s oil sector, causing a fuel crisis.<\/p>\n

The attack got here two days after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with U.S. President Donald Trump and representatives of American defense corporations as he pleads for swifter and larger deliveries of Patriot air defense systems to stop Russia\u2019s ballistic missiles.<\/p>\n

The Iran war has drained stockpiles of the U.S.-made interceptors. Trump has promised to grant Ukraine licenses to construct its own Patriots, but production could take many months.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the critical shortage of air defense missiles from our partners, our warriors are accomplishing truly incredible things, demonstrating a really high level of professionalism,\u201d Zelenskyy said on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Russian terror once more proves that protection against the Russian missile threat is an important task in the case of saving the lives of our people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
