WARSAW, Jan 20 (Reuters) - Rzeszow and Lublin airports in eastern Poland reopened on Tuesday morning after they temporarily suspended operations in order to allow military planes to operate freely, the Polish Air Navigation Services Agency (PANSA) said.
Military aircraft were conducting routine operations in Poland on Tuesday and there was no threat to Polish airspace, Ewa Zlotnicka, a spokesperson for the Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces, told private broadcaster TVN24.
In an interview at 0630 GMT Deputy Defence Minister Cezary Tomczyk told TVN24 that two German Eurofighters were in the air and that Russian drones were operating around 100 km (62 miles) from the Polish border, but that Ukraine was shooting them down.
