According to Polish military information, the objects were continuously tracked and monitored by military intelligence systems. It is emphasized that the situation posed no threat to either civilian aviation or the country's residents.
Polish military personnel are cooperating with other services responsible for state security, providing them with the necessary data for operational response. This includes the possible interception of such objects and the detention of individuals who may be involved in these incidents. No additional details have been reported yet.
Recently, there has been an increase in cases of air balloons carrying contraband being launched from the territory of Belarus into Poland. Similar incidents have previously caused tension in relations between Belarus and Lithuania.
