Poland has closed its busiest airport, Warsaw Chopin Airport, today due to "unplanned military activity related to ensuring state security," as stated in a recently issued NOTAM (Notice to Airmen). The decision comes amid increasing tensions in the region, particularly concerning military incursions from neighboring countries.

The airport, a key hub for both domestic and international travel, has been temporarily shut down, raising concerns for travelers and airlines alike. Passengers are advised to check with their airlines for updates on flight statuses as operations remain suspended.

This development follows a series of incidents involving Russian drones breaching NATO airspace, with Polish jets responding to such threats in recent days. For more insights into these events, see our related coverage on the Polish military"s recent actions.

Authorities have not yet provided a timeline for when the airport will reopen. The situation is being monitored closely, and further announcements are expected as military activities continue to unfold.
