Ground-based air defence and radar reconnaissance systems have returned to standard operational status, and no violations of Polish airspace were reported, the Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces said.
During the heightened alert, airports in Rzeszów (southeast Poland) and Lublin (eastern Poland) were temporarily closed to ensure freedom of movement for military aircraft.
The Polish Air Navigation Services Agency has now confirmed that both airports are open again.

Polish forces will continue monitoring the situation in Ukraine under Operation Eastern Dawn and remain on standby to ensure the security of the country’s airspace.
