Warsaw said all steps were taken to secure the country’s airspace as Moscow pummeled Ukraine with missiles on Saturday.
Poland’s air force has scrambled jets to protect the country’s airspace from Russian missiles targeting western Ukraine.
Airforce patrols were conducted on Saturday in southeast Poland, which borders war-torn Ukraine.
Poland was left unscathed, but a Russian strike on a large DIY store in the northern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv killed 12 people and wounded 43.
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the airstrike a “manifestation of Russian madness”.
Poland’s Operational Command announced the defensive operation had ended on Sunday, but said its forces remained vigilant.
