"Poland deployed air force jets for the second time in a week, alerted residents and closed Lublin airport near the Ukrainian border because of drones flying in its neighbor's airspace, its Operational Command said in a post on X. Separately, Romanian fighter jets were launched as Russia attacked Ukrainian territory near the nations' shared border near the Danube River. A UAV was detected inside Romania's airspace, the defense ministry said."
"Poland's air defense systems were placed on the highest alert "amid the threat of Russian drones" over Ukraine, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said in a separate post, adding that the action was "preventive." Residents of six Polish districts near to the Ukrainian border received emergency SMS alerts warning of a threat from the air. Ukraine's air defense said earlier on Saturday that two Russian UAVs had been flying in the west of the country."
