Aircraft from Poland’s armed forces and other NATO allies have been activated following Russian air attacks on Ukraine.
Poland’s RSZ Operational Command said on Friday night that its aircraft had started operating in Polish air space, warning people of this could cause increased noise levels in the south-eastern part of the country.
“Activity of the Russian Federation is being observed in connection with missile strikes carried out against objects located in the territory of Ukraine,” the statement on X, formerly Twitter, said, “all necessary procedures to ensure the safety of our airspace have been initiated.”
In a follow up post several hours later, Poland’s armed forces said due to another wave of long-range aviation attacks on Ukraine, “Polish and allied aircraft have been activated,” according to a translation.
