Two people died Tuesday afternoon after a projectile struck an area where grain was drying in Przewodów, a Polish village near the border with Ukraine, domestic media reported.

The Polish government raised its army's level of readiness after Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki called an emergency meeting of the country's top national security and defence officials due to a "crisis situation", according to government spokesman Piotr Mueller.

The government is also mulling whether to invoke NATO founding treaty's Article 4, calling for a meeting of all NATO Member States after an ally's territorial integrity or security has been breached.

I wouldn't get my hopes up, I doubt this will result in full stale nuclear war.

Agreed. Unless Belarus or Russia actually send troops over, everyone will just take a breath and calm down. At worse, NATO will be on highten alert for a while.

Biden: 'Unlikely' missile that hit Poland fired from Russia

NUSA DUA, Indonesia (AP) — President Joe Biden said Wednesday it was “unlikely” that a missile that killed two in NATO-ally Poland was fired from Russia, but he pledged support for Poland's investigation into what it had called a “Russian-made” missile.

Looks like it's an Ukranian air defense missile.

Would it be a coincidence if the day Trump announced his run for president WWIII was started by an errant Russian missile?

I don't think Russia did it or if they did it was a mistake based on what some said they saw. Russia said they didn't do it.. they could have just said oops (whats this button do). If some war was to start it won't be like this.

Absolutely tragic. We need to send our prayers for all involved, and that tensions do not escalate unnecessarily over this tragedy.

Prayers sent.

Perhaps the theory of probability worked here. If too many rockets are fired, then the probability of hitting neighbors increases. On this day, Russia fired a lot of missiles at Ukraine like never before.

But it can also be a reaction test. After all, before that, Russia "missed" and with impunity blew up rockets on the territory of Moldova. The President of Moldova only complained that there was no one to protect her, except for Ukraine.

Kyiv says Poland strike a 'very sensitive issue' after reports say Ukrainian forces fired the missile

Ukraine's defense ministry is cautious after reports suggested its own armed forces fired a missile that hit Poland.

Early Wednesday morning, the Associated Press reported, citing three unnamed U.S. officials, that preliminary assessments indicated “the missile that struck Poland had been fired by Ukrainian forces at an incoming Russian missile.”




Other media agencies, including NBC News, cited similar details on Wednesday; Reuters reported a NATO source as saying President Joe Biden had told the G-7 and NATO partners that the strike was caused by “a Ukrainian air defense missile,” while the Wall Street Journal cited two senior Western officials briefed on the preliminary U.S. assessments as saying the missile was from a Ukrainian air-defense system.
