A prolonged nine-hour air raid alert in Kyiv was lifted, indicating a temporary de-escalation of aerial threat following suspected Russian missile or drone activity. Concurrently, Poland lifted its own shelter-in-place warning, confirming no immediate spillover threat to its territory from Russian strikes on Ukraine. The scale and specific targets of the Russian strikes remain unclear.
