The authorities in Warsaw stated that they published Polish and other NATO fighters (NATO) in the airspace in a “precautionary” operation, today, Saturday, due to a threat from strikes from marches in neighboring areas of Ukraine.
It also closed the eastern Lublin city airport.
It was decided to publish the fighters after 19 marches crossed to Poland last Wednesday, prompting NATO to send fighters to drop them.
The Polish operational leadership reported, through the “X” platform this afternoon, Saturday afternoon, that the air defense systems operating on the ground and reconnaissance systems are at a state of high alert.
She stressed that “these actions are of a precautionary nature,” and aimed at securing the Polish airspace and protecting the country’s citizens.
She pointed to a threat of strikes in marches in Ukrainian areas adjacent to Poland, but she did not provide more details.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk also wrote on social media that “precautionary air operations” began in the Polish air field due to the threat posed by the marches that operate over near Ukrainian areas.
