Eastern Border Security Tightened Amid Drone Incursions

Poland’s air navigation agency, PANSA, has introduced a new restricted airspace zone, EP R131, along the country’s eastern border, effective from June 10, 2026, to September 9, 2026. The zone replaces the current EP R130 restriction and is a response to Russian drone breaches in September 2025. The restriction, which spans airspace from ground level to FL95, is intended to enhance national security and will have varying rules for day and night operations. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
