A Russian missile entered Polish airspace on Sunday as the Russian military launched a wave of airstrikes against Ukrainian targets in the wake of a deadly terrorist attack against civilians at a Moscow concert hall.

Russian forces launched 57 missiles against Ukraine, at least one of which flew through Polish airspace before reaching its target. Poland says it activated its own aircraft and other countermeasures following the incursion.

Top Polish officials said Sunday they will «demand explanations from Russia in connection with another violation of the country’s airspace.»

«Above all, we call on the Russian Federation to stop terrorist air attacks on the inhabitants and territory of Ukraine,» the Polish Foreign Affairs Ministry said in a Sunday statement.

The weekend missile strikes on Ukraine come after Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed that the culprits in a deadly Moscow terrorist attack attempted to flee to Ukraine after the shootings on Friday.

The death toll in Friday’s terror attack on a concert in Moscow has soared to at least 133, Russia’s top state investigative agency said Saturday, with authorities saying they have apprehended 11 suspects, four of whom were reported to be directly involved in the onslaught.

While Ukraine has denied any involvement, Putin says the four alleged attackers were trying to cross the border via a «window» prepared for them by Ukraine.

«All four direct perpetrators of the terrorist attack, all those who shot and killed people, were found and detained,» Putin said. «They tried to hide and moved toward Ukraine, where, according to preliminary data, a window was prepared for them from the Ukrainian side to cross the state border.»

Destrozan a mazazos la tumba de Jean Marie Le Pen, histórico líder ultraderechista de Francia

Published

La tumba de Jean-Marie Le Pen, líder histórico de la extrema derecha en Francia fallecido el 7 de enero, amaneció este viernes destrozada, «posiblemente a mazazos», indicaron varias fuentes.

La sepultura situada en La Trinité-sur-Mer, en el oeste de Francia, «ha sido realmente destrozada, probablemente a mazazos durante la noche», declaró Gilles Pennelle, eurodiputado del partido ultraderechista Agrupación Nacional (RN), de su hija Marine Le Pen.

«La profanación de la tumba de Jean-Marie Le Pen es un acto incalificable, cometido por quienes no respetan ni a los vivos ni a los muertos», condenó en la red social X el presidente de RN, Jordan Bardella.

Una de sus hijas, Marie Caroline Le Pen, publicó en la misma red social una foto de la tumba dañada, en la que se ve por el suelo y rota la cruz de mármol que coronaba la sepultura así como las placas en homenaje a su padre y abuelos.

¿Quién era Jean-Marie Le Pen?

Condenado por sus comentarios xenófobos, antisemitas y homófobos, Le Pen impulsó la instalación de la extrema derecha en Francia, donde llegó a disputar un balotaje de la elección presidencial en 2002, sin éxito.

La vida de Jean-Marie Le Pen es no sólo larga en años sino en acontecimientos.

Prácticamente desde el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial entró en política. Participó en dos guerras (Argelia e Indochina) y luchó, sin éxito, contra políticos como Pierre Mendès France, Michel Rocard, François Mitterrand, Jacques Chirac y Nicolas Sarkozy, hasta que su hija le dio el empujón para enviarlo al retiro de la jubilación política.

Le Pen colaboró con el régimen pronazi de Vichy durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y tardó casi 40 años en tener sus primeros éxitos políticos, en la localidad de Dreux en 1983 y en las elecciones europeas de 1984.

Su hija Marine, que tomó el relevo al frente del partido ultraderechista en 2011, se esforzó en moderar su imagen, llegando a excluir incluso a su padre, y logró imponerse como una figura política central en Francia.
