Poland has temporarily closed its airspace near the cities of Lublin and Rzeszów until at least 4:00 GMT on Sunday due to "unscheduled military activities related to state security," according to Flightradar24. The Polish Armed Forces have deployed aircraft to safeguard their airspace following the recent Russian attacks on Ukraine. The Polish Army, via a post on the X platform, stated that the measure is preventive and aims to protect citizens through the collaboration of Polish and allied aircraft in response to the long-range air activity of the Russian Federation.
During the early hours of the morning, Kiev suffered an intense attack with drones and missiles that left at least four dead. The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, stated that Russia launched more than 500 drones and 40 missiles, affecting civilian infrastructure. Zelenski described the attack as a "deliberate terror" against ordinary cities and urged strong international pressure on Moscow. The situation shows an escalation in tensions in the region, heightening concerns about airspace security and regional stability.
