A section of Polish airspace was temporarily closed due to Russian strikes on western Ukraine, prompting the deployment of fighter jets and the precautionary closure of two eastern airports. Although alarms sounded, no drones entered Polish airspace, and restrictions were lifted by late morning. Meanwhile, Kyiv and surrounding regions faced heavy bombardment with over 100 missiles and drones, injuring 19 people. President Zelensky reported damage in the capital and Ukrainian strikes on Russian facilities, alongside a prisoner body exchange involving hundreds of remains.
