- Russia launched a ballistic missile and drone barrage across several Ukrainian regions overnight, killing at least 10 civilians — including children — and wounding more than 50, according to officials cited Thursday.
- NATO scrambled warplanes after one of the Russian missiles crossed Ukraine's western border into Poland, drawing the alliance directly into the overnight strike's fallout.
Why it matters: At least 60 casualties in a single overnight barrage, plus a confirmed Russian missile crossing into NATO-member Poland, forced an immediate allied air response and put the alliance's collective defense posture into direct operational contact with the war.
