Poland scrambled its fighter jets after Russian attacks in Ukraine, while two border regions were placed on alert

Poland scrambled its fighter jets on Saturday after Russian attacks carried out in Ukraine, while authorities issued alerts for the Lublin and Podkarpackie regions, which border Ukraine. The measures were taken amid the risk that the airstrikes could approach Polish territory.

The Government Security Centre issued the warnings at around 3 p.m. local time via mobile phone messages and social media. Approximately one hour later, the alert was withdrawn, and authorities announced that the danger had passed. The situation developed rapidly, meaning some residents may have received the all-clear message before the initial warning.

Air raid alerts were issued in several regions of Ukraine, including Kyiv. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that four people had been killed in an attack on a civilian enterprise in Kamianske, in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Residential buildings and shopping centres were also damaged.

Poland’s mobilization comes at a sensitive diplomatic moment. Russia and Ukraine announced a temporary pause in attacks on Kyiv and Moscow during the mission of U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The measure does not constitute a general ceasefire and does not halt fighting on the front line.
