Polish authorities temporarily closed Warsaw Chopin Airport and at least two other airports due to reported Russian drones in Polish airspace. The Polish military heightened its alert level, scrambling aircraft and activating air defense systems in response to the potential threat. The Ukrainian Air Force initially reported drones heading west, though this statement was later deleted. The closures followed massive Russian airstrikes on Ukraine and coincide with large-scale Russian-Belarusian military exercises near the Polish border, prompting Poland to close its border with Belarus as a precautionary measure. CNN could not independently verify the drone reports.
