Sept 30 (Reuters) – Air operations at airports in Lublin and ​Rzeszow have ‌resumed after temporary closures due to military aviation operations, Poland’s Air ‌Traffic ​Authority said on ⁠Wednesday.

“Airports in Lublin ⁠and Rzeszow have resumed flight operations,” the agency said in ​an X post.

Military aviation was ⁠operating in ⁠Polish airspace due ​to Russian strikes ​on Ukraine using “airborne assault means”, ‌the Polish army said in a statement earlier.

The ⁠army also said it had readied its ground-based air defence ⁠systems ‌and radar ⁠reconnaissance as a ​defensive ‌measure aimed at ​securing its ⁠airspace.
