🇵🇱 Air alarm in eastern Poland.

Yes, that's true. On September 13, 2025, around 5:00-6:00 PM local time (CET), an airborne threat warning system was activated in the Lublin Voivodeship in eastern Poland. The Government Center for Security (RCB) sent alerts to residents with the message: "WARNING! Threat of air attack. Exercise extreme caution. Follow the instructions of the authorities. Expect further announcements."

The situation stems from Russian drone activity in western Ukraine, near the border with Poland, which prompted a preemptive warning. No drone violations of Polish airspace have been reported so far, but air defense procedures, including NATO patrols, have been activated. Air raid sirens are heard in some areas. It is recommended to follow official announcements from the RCB and the authorities, avoid unnecessary trips, and seek shelter in a safe place in case of escalation. This is a continuation of tensions following the incidents on September 9-10, when drones violated Polish airspace, leading to the temporary closure of airports and the introduction of the EP R129 restricted air traffic zone in the east of the country (valid until December 9). If you are in this region, stay alert and check for updates on the gov.pl website or the RCB Alert app.
