Poland says Russian missile passed through its airspace

(ANSA-AFP) - WARSAW, DEC 29 - A Russian missile passed through Polish airspace Friday, entering from and then back into Ukraine, the Polish army said, as Russia pummelled Ukraine with one of the biggest air attacks of the war. "Everything indicates that a Russian missile entered Polish airspace... It also left our airspace," said General Wieslaw Kukula, chief of the general staff of the Polish armed forces. "We have national and allied radar confirmation," he told reporters. The missile was in Polish airspace for three minutes, said Maciej Klisz, operational commander of the Polish army. "We sent our forces, fighter jets, to intercept it and shoot it down if necessary but the duration and the flight path... made this impossible and allowed the missile to leave Polish territory," Klisz said.
