On Sunday, Poland closed its airspace around Lublin and Rzeszów because of “unplanned military activity related to the security of the State Security”, stated the Flightradar24 service. According to AFP and Reuters reports, TASR reports this.
According to the army, the preventive measure was to be valid until at least 06.00.

“In connection with the activities of the Russian Federation, which carries out attacks in the territory of Ukraine, Polish and Allied aircraft began to operate in our airspace,” She wrote the army and added that the measure is preventive and is aimed at ensuring airspace and protection of citizens.
