Poland has closed part of its airspace, with flights from and to the country’s largest airport in Warsaw temporarily not functional, APA reports, citing TASS.
"Due to actions by government agencies and the armed forces to ensure security, the airspace over part of the country, including over Chopin Airport, has been temporarily closed," the air hub said in a post on Facebook.
Media reports said three more airports - in Rzeszow, Lublin, and Modlin near Warsaw - have also been temporarily closed.
Earlier on Wednesday morning, the Operational Command of the republic’s Armed Forces reported that several objects, identified as unmanned aerial vehicles, that entered the country’s airspace have been shot down.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has informed NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte about the incident. "I have informed the NATO Secretary General about the current situation and measures that we have taken against objects that violated our airspace. We are in constant contact," Tusk posted on X.
