“In accordance with prescribed procedures, the commander of operations of the armed forces mobilized the forces and resources at his disposal.”

Russia targeted Ukraine with 158 drones and missiles overnight, mostly targeting critical infrastructure, industries and military installations, according to the Ukrainian military.

In April, a military object was found in a forest near the village of Zamosc near the city of Bydgoszcz in the north of the country. It was then reported that it was a Russian missile.
Polish officials said emergency services, including police and army volunteer units, were searching the area but it was unclear whether the object fell on Polish soil. There are no reports of casualties.
