Poland on high alert after armed forces spot 'suspected observation balloon from Belarus' in its airspace

May 13, 2023

 

  • The country's Defence Minister said the object was spotted on Friday evening

  • The object disappeared from the radar at around 12:30am on Saturday

 

Poland is on high alert after armed forced detected a suspected observation balloon in its airspace coming from the direction of Belarus.

 

The country’s Defence Minister shared on Twitter that the object was spotted at around 8:30pm on Friday and that subsequent monitoring was carried out.

 

However, the object disappeared from the radar at around 12:30am on Saturday near Rypin, a town in central Poland around 180 miles from the country’s border with Belarus.

 

It comes after two other invasions of Poland’s airspace since Russia invaded Ukraine, which boarders Poland, last February.

 

In November last year, two Polish men died when a missile landed in eastern Poland.

 

Western officials have said they believe a Ukrainian air defence missile went astray, leading to the deaths of the two men, as Ukrainian air forces attempted to fight against the Russian invasion.

 

After the incident, Polish President Andrzej Duda said he had seen ‘no evidence’ the missile was fire by Russia and that it was ‘highly probably’ that the Soviet-era S-300 rocket came from Ukraine.

 

'Ukraine's defense was launching their missiles in various directions and it is highly probable that one of these missiles unfortunately fell on Polish territory,' Duda said at the time.

 

He that Russia bears ultimate responsibility for the strike because Putin began the war in Ukraine.

 

Another object landed on Polish territory in December, but was only discovered by chance last month by a member of the public who was riding a horse in a nearby forest.

 

Polish media outlets later reported that the object was a Russian KH-55 missile.

 

The incident is similar to that of the Chinese spy balloon, which passed over the US and caused concerns over national security in February.

 

The White House claimed Chinese balloons have crossed over dozens of countries over multiple continents.
