Russia deploys Iskander missile near Poland, Warsaw reachable in 3 minutes

A significant escalation is reported in the Russia-Ukraine war with Russia’s deployment of its Iskander missile in the Kaliningrad region near the Polish border. This action follows reports from the same morning of Russia invading Poland’s airspace. The Iskander is described as Russia’s deadliest cruise missile. The Iskander-M variant is identified as a ballistic missile with the capability to reach Poland’s capital, Warsaw, in a short time. The report states, “The missile can reach Warsaw in 3 minutes.” This deployment strategically places a powerful weapons system close to a NATO member’s border, elevating tensions in the region amid the ongoing conflict.
