Russian claims of an ICBM strike against Ukraine dominated morning coverage, though CNN's analysis of debris later questioned this narrative. Poland responded by positioning tanks along its eastern border and scrambling fighters in response to Russian activities.
By afternoon, Moscow placed Poland's Redzikowo base on its nuclear target list, while the National Prosecutor's Office requested parliamentary permission to forcibly bring Ziobro before the Pegasus commission despite his reported illness.
Evening brought clarity to PiS's presidential candidate selection, with IPN president Karol Nawrocki emerging as the likely choice, though party spokesman later denied a final decision. The Sejm rejected PiS's motion of no confidence against Health Minister Leszczyna, while Justice Minister Bodnar announced a ten-point court reform plan. Putin's speech characterized the Ukraine conflict as "global," while Pentagon confirmed receiving Moscow's 30-minute nuclear warning protocol notification.
