NATO aircraft are scrambled over Poland and two Polish airports suspend operations after Russia launches a new drone attack on western Ukraine. Polish air defences are reported to be placed on high alert as the incident develops.

Poland’s air navigation services agency confirms that airports in Lublin and Rzeszów stop operations following the heightened security situation. Reporting across outlets links the closures to the scrambling of NATO aircraft, framing the move as part of an immediate response to the cross-border attack.

While the accounts differ slightly in emphasis—some leading with NATO patrol activity and others with the airport shutdown—the core details remain consistent: a fresh drone attack occurs, NATO aircraft are scrambled over Poland, and both Lublin and Rzeszów airports suspend flights as a precaution during the elevated alert.
