Poland Imposes Airspace Restrictions Near Belarus, Ukraine After Drone Incursions.

Poland has introduced restrictions on air traffic along its eastern borders with Belarus and Ukraine amid increased tensions, a day after multiple drone incursions into the NATO member’s airspace.

Poland shot down suspected Russian drones in its airspace early with the backing of aircraft from its NATO allies, the first time a member of the Western military alliance is known to have fired shots during Russia’s war in Ukraine.

The restrictions also make an exception for military flights and some additional special-purpose flights and call signs.
