The Polish Armed Forces Operational Command has reported early this Sunday that it has deployed warplanes and activated air defense systems as a "preventive" measure following Russia's latest air strikes against Ukraine to "ensure the security of national airspace and protect its citizens."

Polish air forces, in coordination with allied countries, have begun operating in Polish airspace in response to the bombing of Ukraine by Russian long-range aircraft, according to the operational authority itself in a statement released through the X social network.



As part of the operation, the Polish military authorities have strengthened surveillance of the border regions to monitor the current situation and "have the means ready to provide an immediate response".

The Operational Command of the Armed Forces has stressed that the actions of Polish aircraft and allies have been purely defensive and preventive, focusing on deterring potential threats and maintaining the integrity of national airspace.
