He noted that, at the request of the Operational Command, a no-fly zone has been imposed in eastern Poland from March 10 to June 9, 2026. The restriction applies to all aircraft flying below 3 kilometres and is enforced 24 hours a day.

"These measures are purely preventive and are designed to protect the lives and health of citizens and ensure the security of state infrastructure," Klisz added.
