The Polish Armed Forces recorded another incident today involving a violation of Polish airspace from the territory of Belarus. Although such events have been recurring regularly for many weeks, investigators are not conducting comprehensive proceedings in this matter.
On the night of 15-16 February 2026, military radar systems detected further entries into Polish airspace by balloon-type objects coming from the direction of Belarus – the Operational Command of the Armed Forces announced on Monday morning.
In a post on X, the Operational Command emphasized that the objects were continuously identified and remained under the supervision of military reconnaissance systems. The situation was monitored and did not pose a threat to air traffic safety or to Polish citizens. According to the Operational Command, the observed violations of Polish airspace did not differ from incidents recorded recently near the Polish-Belarusian border.
“The Armed Forces, acting in accordance with applicable procedures, are cooperating with the services responsible for state security, continuously providing the necessary information to enable a swift response, including the interception of the objects and the detention of individuals suspected of involvement in these incidents”, the Operational Command stated in its statement.
It stressed that the Polish Armed Forces maintain round-the-clock operational readiness to protect Polish airspace.
This is another such act of provocation in recent weeks.
As the niezalezna.pl portal revealed, no team of prosecutors has so far been established within the National Prosecutor’s Office to investigate the violations of airspace. “Despite the significantly escalating Belarusian pressure along many sections of the border, there is a lack of a comprehensive investigation into actions against state security”, it was indicated.
“Such an investigation should be conducted within the military division under the supervision of the Department. Such a team should consist of experienced prosecutors who – and I know there are such individuals – have dealt with unmanned aerial vehicles. Moreover, I repeat that the services should be involved. We have military intelligence and military counterintelligence. Without a doubt, this is a task for the military services”, Prosecutor Tomasz Janeczek, Deputy Prosecutor General for Military Affairs, told niezalezna.pl.
