An unknown object may have flown into Poland. The military is checking signals from Lithuania

Lithuanian authorities issued air threat alerts after an unidentified object was reported near the Polish border. The National Crisis Management Center's head stated the object crossed into Lithuania but Polish military has not confirmed this. Alerts were raised in several regions, including Mariampol, prompting residents to seek shelter. NATO jets were deployed but failed to identify the object. The alerts extended to Latvia and Estonia, with no confirmed shootdowns. Later, Lithuania lifted the alerts as the object left its airspace, possibly heading towards Latvia. Air traffic restrictions were also implemented due to potential threats from smuggling balloons from Belarus.
