MOSCOW, March 21. /TASS/. Poland and its allies scrambled warplanes amid what Warsaw said was Russia’s intensive long-range aviation activity, according to the Operational Command of the republic’s Armed Forces.

"We inform you that intensive long-range aviation activity of the Russian Federation is being observed tonight (the small hours of March 21 - TASS) <…> We warn you that Polish and allied aircraft have been activated, which may cause increased noise levels, especially in the country’s southeast," the Operational Command wrote on X.

In late December, Poland’s Operational Command reported that an unidentified aerial object had entered the republic’s airspace. Polish President Andrzej Duda later convened an emergency meeting with senior Defense Ministry officials. The chief of the Polish General Staff, General Wieslaw Kukula, claimed that a Russian missile had breached Polish airspace. Having inspected the area, the Polish military did not find anything that could pose a threat.
