Russia has launched renewed air attacks on Ukraine, including strikes near the Polish border, prompting Poland to issue missile warnings for its eastern provinces (Lublin, Podkarpackie) and scramble fighter jets. While no direct impact on Polish territory has been confirmed, the proximity of strikes and Polish military response indicate a heightened risk of cross-border incidents. The scale and specific targets of the Russian attacks remain partially unclear.

Why it matters: This escalation increases the risk of inadvertent NATO involvement and underscores the ongoing volatility on NATO's eastern flank.
