In Poland, military aircraft were scrambled twice since the start of the day amid Russian air attacks on Ukraine. Residents of two voivodeships were warned of the threat.
The Polish Government Security Centre (RCB) reported this on X.
Residents of the Lublin Voivodeship received the first alert. In the RCB message, it said the Russian air attack on Ukraine was ongoing, the situation was being monitored, and military aircraft were operating in Polish airspace. The alert for the region was later lifted.
A few hours later, the RCB again reported a threat and the operation of military aircraft. This time, warnings were sent to residents of the Subcarpathian Voivodeship. About an hour later, the alert in the region was also lifted.
- In Poland’s Lublin Voivodeship, on the morning of 18 October, a search operation was launched amid suspicion that an unknown object may have violated the country’s airspace overnight.
