Normal Situation Restored
Tensions have eased as Vice-Minister of National Defense Cezary Tomczyk confirmed the situation had returned to normal.

Military Jets Deployed
Fighter jets were scrambled following drone attacks in regions of Ukraine bordering Poland. The Polish Air Navigation Services Agency noted that “Lublin Airport has resumed air operations following the termination of military aviation activities.”
Unconfirmed Breach
Having received unverified information about potential airspace violation, the Operational Command of the Armed Forces initiated precautionary measures. “As of now, it looks like there’s an RCB alert, preemptively notifying residents of certain districts (…). We have unconfirmed information about potential airspace violation, which we are currently verifying. I cannot confirm this at the moment as we verify the information. It might also be meteorological anomaly and faulty radar system recording,” said Colonel Jacek Goryszewski in a TVN 24 interview.
