The Podkarpackie region’s inhabitants received a notification from the Polish Rządowe Centrum Bezpieczeństwa, informing them of the planned exercises by law enforcement services between September 14 and October 3, which may involve the sounds of gunshots and helicopter flights.
Exercises Conducted in Bieszczadzkie and Leskie Districts
A similar alert was sent out for the Leskie and Bieszczadzkie districts, advising residents to maintain calm and caution during the military training exercises.
Importance of Simulated Training
Colonel Mariusz Łapeta highlighted the necessity of such military exercises, stating, “The military must train and be prepared.
