Nato jets respond as Russian strikes kill seven in Ukraine

Nato aircraft were deployed over Poland and Romania overnight and Wednesday in response to Russian drone and missile attacks on Ukraine, which killed at least seven people, including two in Kyiv, and damaged a maternity hospital. Russia launched 161 drones and ballistic missiles at Ukraine, with debris falling on the capital. Poland scrambled fighter jets for about an hour, reporting no airspace violations, while Romania deployed two F-16s after detecting an aerial target near its border. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the UN General Assembly, urging world leaders to target Russia's revenues and warning against AI use in war. He also signed drone deals with Finland and Australia, and called for an "energy ceasefire" before winter.
