Embassy Issues Alert to Malaysians in Poland After Airspace Violations

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 10 – The Embassy of Malaysia in Warsaw on Wednesday has urged all Malaysian citizens residing in the Podlaskie, Mazowieckie and Lubelskie Voivodeships to remain highly vigilant following a series of recent incidents involving violations of Polish airspace.

In a statement posted on X, the embassy advised Malaysians in the affected regions to follow instructions from local authorities, stay informed through credible news sources, and avoid unnecessary travel.

“Follow instructions from local authorities and pay close attention to all official announcements and emergency broadcasts. Stay informed and monitor credible local news sources for updates on the situation.

“Prioritise your safety and avoid unnecessary travel and stay in safe locations,” the embassy said.

The statement also urged Malaysians to contact the embassy immediately in case of any emergency at +48 22 617 4413 or +48 660 627 360 (after office hours), or via email at mwwarsaw@kln.gov.my.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that Poland will fully close its border with Belarus, including railway crossings, starting at midnight on Thursday for national security reasons.

The Polish Press Agency reported that the move will affect all border crossings.

Belarus has responded by protesting the decision, particularly as it coincides with the Russia-Belarus military drills, Zapad-2025.
