💣 Missile

Poland is grappling with a significant security incident after an unidentified object, confirmed by Ukraine as a Russian missile, struck the Lubelszczyzna region.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk is traveling to the affected area, and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz described the situation as an "extremely difficult night." The incident marks a serious breach of Polish airspace, raising concerns and leading to calls for explanations from the opposition. Meanwhile, the political landscape continues to be shaped by the fracturing of the main opposition Law and Justice (PiS) party, with former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and his allies officially forming a new parliamentary club named 'Development Plus'.
