Polish police released security camera footage capturing the moment a suspected Russian cruise missile struck Poland’s Lublin Voivodeship, local news outlet Bilgoraj.com.pl reported on July 30.
The footage came from a home security camera in the Polish town of Turobin, approximately eight kilometers from where the missile struck in Tarnawa-Kolonia.
An explosion can be heard in the video, with the on-screen clock showing the missile impacted at 3:45 a.m. local time (4:45 a.m. Kyiv time).
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk reported that a suspected Russian Kh-101 cruise missile may have landed in the Lublin Voivodeship overnight on July 30
“We were ready to intercept the missile if it maintained its course. All evidence points to this being a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile,” Tusk said.
Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski noted that Kh-101 missiles are used exclusively by Russian strategic aviation.
July 30 Polish airspace violation
Russian forces carried out a large-scale airstrike on Ukraine overnight on July 30. Polish police discovered a crater and unidentified debris in a field between Tarnawa Kolonia and Tokary later that morning after being dispatched to investigate reports of a loud explosion.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha later reported that a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile violated NATO airspace by crossing into Poland.
In response, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk convened a coordination group.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
