On the night of January 30 to 31, objects entering from Belarus were again detected in Polish airspace. This was reported by the Operational Command of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland.
Based on an analysis of flight parameters, it was determined with a high degree of probability that the objects were balloons moving in accordance with current meteorological conditions. The flight of the objects was continuously monitored by military radar systems.
In order to ensure safety, temporary restrictions were introduced on the use of part of the airspace over the Podlaskie Voivodeship for civil aviation.
“These measures were preventive in nature and complied with established procedures. There was no threat to the security of Poland’s airspace,” the press release said.
The command described the incident as “another in a series of hybrid-type incidents observed in eastern Poland.”
The Operational Command said it remains in constant contact with relevant agencies and services, exchanges information, and transmits data on the detected objects.
“The situation is being continuously monitored, and the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland remain ready to carry out tasks related to the protection of Polish airspace,” the military said.
