Poland searches for unknown object near Lublin after suspected airspace violation
Poland's Armed Forces Operational Command said an unknown object may have violated Polish airspace overnight into Sunday, October 18, prompting a search operation south of Lublin. No violation has been confirmed, and authorities have not ruled out a meteorological cause for the recorded radar signal. The episode coincided with a brief Government Centre for Security alert to Lublin-region residents about a Russian attack on Ukraine — later cancelled — and with air-raid alerts in Lithuania and Latvia that triggered NATO jet scrambles and the temporary closure of Kaunas airport.
