In Poland, two airports suspended due to the actions of military aircraft

Poland has raised fighters in the air because of Russian military activity in Ukraine. Against this background, airports in the Polish cities of Lublin and Rzeszów were suspended, the Polish Air Navigation Service Agency (PANSA) said.

Restrictions at airports were introduced “in connection with the need to ensure freedom of action of military aviation.” According to the operational command of the Polish Armed Forces, ground-based air defense systems and radar reconnaissance are also on alert. The ministry said that "actions are preventive in nature and are aimed at ensuring security and protecting airspace.".

Similar restrictions were imposed at airports on September 10 and 18. On September 23, Poland announced a violation of airspace by a Russian Mi-8 helicopter. Prime Minister Donald Tusk believes that Russia may soon organize “hybrid attacks” against countries supporting Ukraine.
