Russian missile strikes kill 8 in Ukraine, debris falls in Poland

On July 30, 2026, Russia launched a massive missile and drone attack on Ukraine, killing at least eight people and damaging residential buildings. The strikes also caused an unidentified object to crash in Poland, prompting an investigation by Polish authorities. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed that a Russian missile entered Polish airspace during the attack, and NATO was alerted to the incident.

Ukrainian officials reported that the attack overwhelmed air defenses, with F-16 fighter jets being heavily used to intercept Russian drones. The strikes have also highlighted gaps in shelter infrastructure, leaving many Ukrainians feeling vulnerable. Meanwhile, Ukraine has been targeting Russia's largest online marketplace, Wildberries, as part of its military strategy, though details of the impact remain unclear.
