(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.
