There was a large-scale missile and drone attack on Ukraine with two Russian cruise missiles loitering along the Poland-Ukraine border for up to 20 minutes, including making two approaches toward the Polish border.
Here is what we can confirm. Watching flight tracking, it appears that the southern part of the Polish NOTAM issued on February 4 was cleared of commercial air traffic. A USAF KC-135 refueling aircraft was orbiting near the Poland-Ukraine border.

Houthi rebels stated their intent was to block shipping traffic to Israel by targeting only Israeli-associated ships and ships carrying cargo to or from Israel. But since early December, to quote Captain James T. Kirk from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn, "...but like a blind marksman, you keep missing the target."

Analysis!
Yes. I got into the studio and did January in review. Also covered Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, Ukraine's drone warfare capability is rapidly evolving, but it won't solve the ammunition crisis, and it's time to talk about Congress and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. Not talking about it now would be journalist malfeasance.

It wasn't errors and omissions territory - ultimately, they both do the same thing, just the process is different.

In Volgograd, at least one Ukrainian one-way drone struck the Lukoil Refinery, the largest oil refinery in Russia's Southern District.
The drone flew at least 500 kilometers before hitting the plant, striking between the oil warming and distillation units.
