Poland and Lithuania Investigate Airspace Violations by Unknown Objects

nos.nl (Dutch) —

Poland is investigating a possible airspace violation by an unknown object, with a military search team looking for a potential impact site south of Lublin. The violation has not yet been confirmed. Reports of a loud flying object came in around 2 a.m. from the Lublin area, though no explosion was heard. The military is also checking whether the radar signal was a meteorological phenomenon. Following the Polish reports, Lithuania's air raid siren sounded due to another unidentified object, prompting residents to seek shelter. NATO jets scrambled, Kaunas airport closed, and Latvia issued a limited alert. Recent months have seen more such incidents amid the Ukraine-Russia war, with Lithuania accusing Russia of deliberately steering Ukrainian drones into Baltic airspace.
