Polish airspace, including Warsaw's Modlin and Chopin airports, experienced new restrictions starting around 1:30 AM UTC on September 10th, 2025, due to "unplanned military activity related to ensuring state security," according to the Polish Operational Command. This follows earlier reports of at least one drone crossing the border from Ukraine's Volyn region into Poland, heading west, as documented by monitoring channels. The newest activity prompted the deployment of Polish military jets. Over the past 14 minutes, from 1:30 AM to 1:45 AM UTC, multiple sources reported continued drone movements within Ukraine and towards Polish territory. Specifically, one drone was observed moving towards Vyshgorod/Kyiv, two towards Zhytomyr, one over Vinnitsa, and another heading to Kalush, according to Nikolaevskiy Vanek. The Air Force of Ukraine also indicated threats from UAVs in the Stryi and Drohobych districts of Lviv region, as well as in the Cherkasy and Kirovohrad regions. This renewed activity comes amid ongoing concerns about Russian drone threats. A Bloomberg report from September 10th, 2025, confirmed that Poland scrambled military jets and shut down Warsaw's major airport due to reports of Russian strike drones crossing into Polish airspace from Ukraine. The Polish Operational Command has stated that ground-based air defense and radar reconnaissance systems are at peak readiness to counter these incursions. Previous reports detailed disruptions to Polish airspace between 1:15 AM and 1:30 AM UTC on September 10th, 2025, due to similar security concerns, with an airborne early warning aircraft operating near Lublin.
