Residents are urged to remain calm, as the activation is strictly for training purposes. The drill will include two official signals: a three-minute modulated sound for the alarm and a three-minute continuous sound to signal the all-clear.<\/p>\n<h4>Military Training in Opole Region<\/h4>\n<p>The Opole Voivodeship Office announced that the Polish Armed Forces will conduct training sessions from Monday, July 20, to Friday, July 31, in Opole, Zawadzkie, and Turawa. Soldiers will move in small groups, and military terrain vehicles will operate on paved forest roads.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities have requested that the public refrain from photographing or recording military personnel and vehicles, and to avoid sharing such content on social media.
