The day was dominated by a suspected Russian rocket incident near Lublin. Overnight, sirens sounded and an F-16 crashed with the pilot ejecting. By morning, wPolityce reported an explosion, crater, and debris, quickly framing it as a possible Russian missile strike. TVN24 initially focused on US airstrikes on Iran and the F-16 crash, but by afternoon both outlets converged on the rocket story. wPolityce led with government criticism, quoting a general calling the response a disgrace and alleging the RCB alert was not sent. TVN24 reported a deputy defense minister acknowledging the blast and a general criticizing communication systems. The incident overshadowed other stories, including a 9-year-old cyclist killed by a BMW, a presidential phone ban in schools, and a PiS meeting after its split. The editorial split persisted: wPolityce emphasized government failure, while TVN24 balanced official statements with broader coverage.
