Air Balloon From Belarus With Inscriptions In Russian Lands In Poland

Special forces were sent to the place.

An air balloon with inscriptions in Cyrillic alphabet landed in Sokoliany in Podlaskie voivodeship. The object was found at night a few kilometres from the border with Belarus.

Police officers and anti-terrorist special forces were sent to the site, Radio ZET reported.

A few hours later, it turned out that the balloon had a bag with cigarettes without Polish excise stamps attached to it. The police are investigating the details of the smuggling attempt. The package contained a total of 1,200 packets of cigarettes.

This is not the first such incident in Podlaskie Voivodeship: a balloon with cigarettes arrived in Poland from Belarus a few weeks ago. At that, the Polish security services check each such case, including for possible espionage.
