Details: The balloon is moving eastwards in the airspace of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship and is continuously monitored by the Polish Armed Forces.

Its course suggests it will leave Polish airspace in several hours.

"The balloon does not pose a threat to the security of the residents of the area in which it has been seen moving," the Polish Armed Forces wrote on Twitter (X), adding that they are monitoring the situation.

Background:

• In March, an unidentified flying object similar to a weather balloon was spotted in northern Poland near the village of Warkalki. Two similar balloons were later seen in the same area.
• In a commentary, the Polish Defence Minister said that it was most likely a weather balloon, but the military would investigate it.
• At the time, the Polish police said that the weather balloons were not conducting reconnaissance activities.
