Early on Wednesday, Poland said that a missile thought to be of Russian manufacture crashed in the country’s east, close to the Ukrainian border, killing two people instantly.Since the invasion of Ukraine, Russian weapons have not attacked a NATO nation until this latest development.While Moscow’s defence minister dismissed the reports on Tuesday as a “provocation” meant to escalate tensions, Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskyy had previously criticised the strike as “a very significant escalation” of the war.
Mateusz Morawiecki, the prime minister of Poland, declared that the country has increased its military readiness and is looking into the incident. Jens Stoltenberg, the secretary-general of NATO, convened an urgent gathering of the alliance’s envoys to talk about the developments in Poland near the Ukrainian border. In order to consult on the attack, US President Joe Biden called an “emergency” meeting of the leaders of NATO and the Group of Seven on Wednesday morning in Indonesia.
While stating that it was “unlikely” that a missile fired from Russia from NATO ally Poland killed two people, he nonetheless promised support for Poland’s investigation.According to media reports, Russia launched a barrage of missiles at Ukraine’s energy facilities on Tuesday, hitting power targets all over the nation and resulting in widespread blackouts.
