The Polish defence ministry
confirmed that two Belarusian helicopters violated Polish
airspace on August 1 in the Bialowieza area on Poland's border
with Belarus. According to a statement on the ministry's
website, the Polish side has been informed ahead of time that
pilot training exercises will take place in the border area on
the Belarusian side. According to the press release, the breach
occurred at such a low altitude that Polish military detection
systems had difficulty detecting the helicopters.
