According to the Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces, Russia’s long-range aviation launched strikes on targets in western Ukraine, prompting the activation of NATO aircraft and Polish air defence systems.
Fighter jets were airborne for approximately three hours, while ground-based air defence and radar systems were placed on the highest level of readiness during the incident.
The measures were taken as a precaution to ensure the safety of Polish territory adjacent to the conflict zone, the military said.
All forces have since returned to standard operational activity, the statement added.
