‘Scared’  British tourist in Poland films moment air raid sirens sound during Russian strikes in Ukraine

A British tourist in Poland has captured on camera the moment air raid sirens started blaring during Russian strikes in Ukraine.

In the early hours of Thursday (30 July), Ryan, who was staying in Lublin, was woken to the sounds of sirens. “As a British tourist this scared the hell out of me,” he wrote.

The alarm was triggered by Russian airstrikes in neighbouring Ukraine, which killed eight people. The sirens stopped after a few minutes.

Poland’s defence minister Wladyslav Kosiniak-Kamysz said that the country endured an “extremely tough night”, which saw sirens blare, F-16 fighter jets scrambled and a suspected Russian missile crash into a field.
