At around 7:30 local time, the Polish Government Security Center stated that this round of Russian military attacks on Ukraine had ended, and there was currently no threat to Polish territory. The Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces also announced the conclusion of military aircraft operations in Polish airspace, the ground air defense and radar reconnaissance systems returned to normal operational status, and confirmed that no incursions into Polish airspace had been detected.
