Poland fixes fault that briefly disrupted flights, officials say
Polish authorities said they had fixed a fault in air traffic control systems that briefly disrupted take-offs in Warsaw and other cities on Saturday morning, and operations were returning to normal. Warsaw's Chopin Airport said take-offs and landings were running as usual by midday. Earlier outages had forced authorities to limit the number of flights in Polish airspace. Airports in Krakow, Katowice and Gdansk had also reported issues through the morning. "The temporary problems were caused by a fault that was promptly resolved," the Polish Air Navigation Services Agency (PANSA) wrote in a statement, without providing further details on the fault. "After implementing all necessary procedures, the primary air traffic management system was restored," the agency said. Backups had kept safety systems running through the outage, it added. Earlier, the Interior Ministry said the security agency had investigated the outage and made routine checks for sabotage. Poland and other countries have accused Russia of stepping up disruption and sabotage campaigns since its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 - accusations that Moscow has denied.

Russian military helicopter violates Polish airspace to probe air defenses, Poland says
A Russian military helicopter of the Baltic Fleet violated Polish airspace on the evening of April 25, the Polish military command said. Polish military radar systems and civilian systems of the Polish Air Navigation Services Agency tracked the aircraft over Poland's territorial waters in the Baltic Sea. "The nature of the incident indicates that Russia is testing the readiness of our air defense systems," the statement of the Polish Armed Forces Operational Command said on X on April 26. "On-duty air defense forces and means remained on constant alert to ensure the security of Polish airspace," the command added. Poland has regularly scrambled jets since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion due to Russian missile and drone attacks on western Ukraine. In several cases, Russian projectiles have briefly entered the Polish airspace. Warsaw has also repeatedly accused Russian aircraft of airspace violations. On Feb. 11, a Russian SU-24MR military jet flew within Polish airspace in the Gdansk bay area of the Baltic Sea for over a minute, due to what the Russian side said was a failure of the navigation system. Last year, Polish Brigadier General Tomasz Drewniak told Radio RMF24 that Russia is likely testing Poland's air defenses after a suspected Russian drone flew into Polish airspace on Aug. 26 amid a mass attack on Ukraine.
