A Russian missile has violated the airspace of Poland, according to reports.

According to a spokesperson for the Polish army, a Russian missile entered the airspace of Poland, a member of NATO, on Sunday morning and traveled approximately 2 kilometers before returning to Ukraine.

A cruise missile launched by the Russian Federation’s air forces entered Polish airspace on X, the military reported on Twitter. The object traveled above the village of Oserdow in Lublin province for 39 seconds.

The Polish armed forces have stated that they are closely observing the situation and are constantly prepared to safeguard the security of their airspace.

Russian authorities stated that 10 Ukrainian missiles were intercepted over Sevastopol in Crimea and a village near Bakhmut was taken over on Saturday.

Due to a lack of ammunition, Ukraine has faced a shortage and as a result, Russia has gained control of multiple villages along the eastern front. The Russian Defense Ministry announced on Saturday that they have occupied Ivanivske village. Nearby is the town of Chasiv Yar, with the city of Kramatorsk located further beyond.

Although the land battle may be progressing at a steady pace, both armies have continued to launch air attacks.

The Ukrainian air force reported that they successfully intercepted 31 out of 34 Russian attack drones that were launched overnight on Friday into Saturday. This comes as Ukraine struggles to repair and rebuild after the massive assault on their energy infrastructure by Russia on Friday.

Ukraine’s military reported that drones were shot down in various areas of central, southern, and southeastern regions.

The power system is taking a gradual amount of time to regain normal functioning.

Electricity is being restored for some citizens of Ukraine by energy employees, despite Moscow’s attack on the country’s power grid, authorities announced on Saturday, one day after the incident.

According to a message shared on Telegram by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the areas that were affected the most have regained the ability to receive electricity. However, the situation in the Kharkiv region, which sustained heavy damage, is still challenging.

According to Ukrenergo, residents of Kharkiv city and the western Khmelnytskyi region continue to be without electricity.

The attack by Russian forces resulted in the deaths of at least five individuals and caused over 1 million people to lose access to electricity. It also damaged Ukraine’s biggest dam.

According to regional Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov, two individuals lost their lives and seven were wounded during Ukrainian airstrikes on Russia’s Belgorod region on Saturday morning.

Gladkov mentioned on Telegram that the morning was going to be challenging.

A drone strike launched by Ukraine during the night resulted in a fire at a significant oil refinery in Russia’s Samara region.

The defense ministry of Russia announced on Saturday that their forces have gained control over the village of Krasnoye, located in the Donetsk region of Ukraine.
