Polish authorities are closely monitoring the situation after dozens of objects, including the recently discovered smuggling balloons, entered Polish airspace from Belarus overnight.
BBN confirmed on social media that it monitored the events throughout the night, collecting and analysing information from both military and civilian agencies.
Officials noted that, as in a similar incident on 24–25 December 2025 - when 59 objects entered Polish airspace from Belarus - the current episode could represent a provocation disguised as smuggling activity.
Authorities urged the public to follow official updates from the police and border guard, and warned that any suspicious items, packages, or debris potentially linked to these incidents should not be approached or touched, with any findings reported immediately to emergency services.
This update comes in the wake of Friday night’s discovery of two balloons carrying large quantities of untaxed cigarettes in north-eastern Poland, near Białystok and in rural Sokółka County, which authorities believe were launched from Belarus.
