Polish airspace experienced an "unprecedented violation by drone-type objects" between 3:30 AM and 3:45 AM UTC on September 10th, 2025, prompting the closure of Warsaw's Chopin Airport until further notice and placing Poland's Territorial Defence Forces on heightened readiness. The Polish military stated this constitutes an "act of aggression that posed a real threat to the safety of our citizens." During this 15-minute reporting window, Ukraine's Air Force reported cruise missiles in the north of Ivano-Frankivsk heading west towards Lviv region, specifically towards Zhidachiv, and also noted groups of cruise missiles returning to the Lviv region, advising residents to stay in shelters. Earlier reports indicated missiles were also heading towards Vinnytsia and Lutsk, with "monitor" advising continued sheltering due to winged rockets. The closure of Warsaw Chopin Airport, confirmed by the airport itself, was extended to 04:30 UTC, with similar NOTAMs for Modlin airport also extended. Poland's Territorial Defence Forces (WOT) have been placed on heightened readiness, with soldiers in key regions like Podlaskie, Mazowieckie, and Lubelskie potentially being called in within 6 hours. This follows earlier reports from the Polish National Security Bureau stating President Karol Nawrocki was being kept informed of airspace violations by Russian drones throughout the night. Ukraine's Air Force also reported threats to Lutsk from UAVs and noted activity in the Frankivsk and Volyn regions. The previous reporting period, from 3:15 AM to 3:30 AM UTC, detailed continued Russian cruise missile activity targeting Zhytomyr and western regions, with specific trajectories noted towards Vinnytsia, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Ternopil.
