The military of Poland on Wednesday said the country’s airspace was “repeatedly" violated by drones during a Russian attack on Ukraine. A US Federal Aviation Administration notice mentioned that Warsaw’s main Chopin Airport was closed, as it cited “unplanned military activity related to ensuring state security".
The military added that operations were underway to “identify and neutralise" some targets and to locate others that had been downed.
“During today’s attack by the Russian Federation aimed at targets in Ukraine, our airspace was repeatedly violated by drones," the operational command of Poland’s armed forces said in a statement on social media.
It earlier said that Polish and allied aircraft had been mobilised in response to the Russian attack.
The alleged incursion comes a day after Poland’s newly elected nationalist President Karol Nawrocki warned that Russian leader Vladimir Putin was ready to invade more countries after launching his war in Ukraine.
“We do not trust Vladimir Putin’s good intentions," Nawrocki told reporters Tuesday at a press conference in Helsinki.
“We believe that Vladimir Putin is ready to also invade other countries."
