Amidst fresh Russian strikes on Ukraine, the airports in Lublin and Rzeszów have suspended flight operations for the third day in a row, the Polish Air Navigation Services Agency (PANSA) reported on the social network X.
Russian strikes on Ukraine have led to the suspension of flight operations at Lublin and Rzeszów airports for a third consecutive day, according to the Polish Air Navigation Services Agency (PANSA). The agency reported on social media platform X that the airports had ceased all flights starting September 16 due to Russian attacks on Ukrainian territory.
In response to renewed Russian air assaults, the Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces initiated military aviation operations within Polish airspace. The Air Operations Center-Air Component Command deployed necessary forces and assets, including ground-based air defense and radar surveillance systems, on alert to ensure the safety and protection of airspace near threatened zones.
Once the military aviation operations concluded, ground-based air defense and radar surveillance systems reverted to standard operating procedures. No airspace violations were reported within the Republic of Poland.
