[Poland Says It Has Taken Precautionary Measures in Response to Russian Airstrikes on Ukraine] On September 16, local time, the Polish Armed Forces Operational Command stated that in response to the Russian military's use of jet drones to attack Ukraine, Poland has activated relevant air defense measures, deploying military aircraft to conduct operations in Polish airspace and raising the readiness status of ground-based air defense and radar reconnaissance systems. The Polish Armed Forces Operational Command stated that these actions are preventative measures aimed at ensuring the security of Polish airspace. Earlier that day, Poland had not detected any violations of its airspace. The Polish Government Security Center subsequently issued a warning to residents in parts of Lublin and Carpathian provinces, reminding them to pay attention to the Russian airstrikes on Ukraine and the actions of Polish military aircraft. Due to the military aviation operations, Lublin and Rzeszów airports temporarily suspended air operations to ensure that military aircraft could carry out their missions freely. (CCTV News)
