Polish fighter jets scramble to guard airspace; two eastern airports briefly closed, then reopen

Polish fighter jets scrambled on Sunday to protect the country's airspace from the spillover of Russian air strikes on Ukraine; Poland's armed forces said on X that the action was precautionary. Airports in the eastern city of Lublin and southeastern Rzeszow briefly suspended flights to allow military aircraft to operate, and later resumed operations. Poland had also said it was checking an incident in which an unidentified object may have violated its airspace.
