Putin has set his sights on Nato in striking an air base near Poland
Foreign instructors were confirmed to have been at the air base but it was unclear if any had been hurt.
A total of 35 people were killed in the missile attack at Yaroviv, just 15 miles from the Nato frontier, while 134 were injured. It comes after Vladimir Putin said Nato's supply of weapons to Ukraine were viable targets as Western missiles obliterate his force's tanks and armoured vehicles - though it is unclear whether materiel from the alliance was at the base at the time of the strike.
Speaking from Poland, LBC presenter Matt Frei, who has been reporting from the war, told Andrew Castle: "Yesterday Vladimir Putin said that those shipments from Nato in Ukraine are a fair target and overnight he was as good as his word and zapped them. "This is not just pushing the war to the west of Ukraine, it is also getting very, perilously, close to the Nato border, the Polish border."
