An object that came down in eastern Poland overnight appears to be a Russian missile, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Thursday, after authorities found a crater and scattered debris in a field following reports of an explosion. Poland ​scrambled fighter jets to secure its airspace after Russian airstrikes killed at least eight people in ​neighbouring Ukraine, including one in Kyiv, the capital, in attacks that extended as far ⁠as the western city of Lviv. “All the indications are that it was a Russian Kh-101 ballistic ​missile, but we want to be 100% certain about the type of missile and who launched it,” Tusk ​told an emergency meeting.
