Air raid sirens sound in Polish city as Russian strikes hit Ukraine

Air raid sirens were activated overnight in Lublin, an eastern Polish city, following Russian attacks on Ukraine. The alert was lifted after several minutes, according to Polish news agency PAP. The incident underscores the heightened state of alert across Poland’s eastern regions, which lie relatively close to the Ukrainian border and have experienced similar warnings during the ongoing conflict. Lublin, situated roughly 170 kilometres from the Ukrainian border, has been subject to periodic alerts as Russian missiles and drones target Ukrainian territory. Polish authorities maintain civil defence protocols to warn residents of potential threats, though direct attacks on Polish territory remain rare. The swift lifting of the alert suggests the threat assessment did not indicate an immediate danger to the city itself.
