This is related to another Russian attack on targets, including in Ukraine.

"Tonight, we are witnessing the activity of long-range aviation of the Russian Federation carrying out strikes using cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles of the Shaded type on objects located, among others, in the western territory of Ukraine," - reported the Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces on platform X.
