The command reported that ground-based defenses were deployed and urged civilians in Podlaskie, Mazowieckie, and Lubelskie voivodeships to remain indoors as forces worked to identify and neutralize the objects.
Trwa operacja związana z wielokrotnym naruszeniem polskiej przestrzeni powietrznej. Przeciwko obiektom wojsko użyło uzbrojenia. Jestem w stałym kontakcie z Prezydentem i Ministrem Obrony. Odebrałem bezpośredni meldunek od dowódcy operacyjnego.
