Poland’s Government Security Centre, RCB, sent an alert to parts of the Lublin and Podlaskie regions on Monday evening during a Russian air attack on Ukraine. Within tens of minutes, it lifted the warning and said there was no threat on Polish territory.
The first message, issued shortly after 10 p.m., said the situation was being monitored and that the readiness of Poland’s air-defence system had been raised. It reached mobile-phone users in selected districts of the two regions, including areas around Bialystok, Suwalki, Chelm and Biala Podlaska.
At about 10:40 p.m., RCB said the air attack on Ukraine had ended and withdrew the alert. Its message stated that there was no threat on Polish territory.
The episode illustrates the role of public warnings during military tension across the border. The raised air-defence readiness and alerts sent to residents in eastern Poland were a precautionary response to a situation authorities said they were monitoring.
The available Polsat News report does not support describing the episode as an attack on Poland or an incursion into Polish airspace. It provides no details on the targets or scale of the attack in Ukraine, and it does not describe specific operational action by Poland’s air defences. For residents who received the alert, the key development was RCB’s warning followed by its statement that there was no threat on Polish territory.
