Lublin and Rzeszów: morning restrictions on 19 October

/ date of the event

What happened

On the morning of 19 October 2026, operations at Lublin and Rzeszów-Jasionka airports were suspended as a precaution during a Russian attack on Ukraine and military aviation activity. PAŻP, quoted by RMF24, subsequently confirmed that normal operations had resumed. This is one entry for both airports, distinct from restrictions on 18 October and the later evening sequence. The report does not confirm an incursion into Poland. The RCB alert around 07:00 and its cancellation around 08:40 do not establish airport restriction times. The precise interruption period and affected flight counts are unknown. A second alert around 13:00 does not itself establish another closure. Exact coordinates are undetermined; the entry has no map point.
