Poland Temporarily Closes Two Airports Amid Large-Scale Russian Missile Attacks on Ukraine

Airports in the Polish cities of Radom and Lublin have been temporarily closed due to military aviation operations initiated in response to a large-scale Russian missile and drone strike on Ukraine. The Polish Air Navigation Services Agency (PANSA) and military authorities issued restrictions on Polish airspace, including closure of these airports to ensure freedom of maneuver for Polish and allied military aircraft. The closures are part of heightened alert measures following repeated Russian reconnaissance and attack activities near NATO's eastern flank. Officials indicated the closures are expected to last about an hour, but the exact duration depends on military decisions. Poland has also intercepted Russian aircraft violating airspace over the Baltic Sea, increasing the tension in the region. These steps underscore the ongoing security concerns in Eastern Europe amid intensified Russian aggression against Ukraine.
