Poland’s president said the missile explosion that killed two people appeared to be an “unfortunate accident” rather than a “deliberate attack”.
Andrzej Duda tweeted that officials “have no evidence at this time that it was a Russian missile launch.”
“There are many indications that it was an anti-aircraft missile that unfortunately landed on Polish territory,” he added.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said in a statement to the media: “Yesterday’s explosion occurred during a massive Russian rocket attack on Ukraine.

“Investigations into this incident are ongoing and we need to await the results.
“But we have no indication that this was the result of a deliberate attack, and we have no indication that Russia is preparing offensive military action against NATO.
“Our preliminary analysis indicates that the incident was likely caused by anti-aircraft missiles fired by Ukraine to defend Ukrainian territory from Russian cruise missiles.
“But let me be clear – this is not Ukraine’s fault. Russia is ultimately responsible for continuing to wage an illegal war against Ukraine.”

After the initial findings of the joe biden and other Western backers in Ukraine strongly support the investigation in repeated investigations Russia claims it did not fire missiles.
The US president cast doubt on earlier claims that the missile that hit the Przewodow grain silo was launched by Moscow.
“There is preliminary information that calls that into question.
“I hate to say it until we have a thorough investigation, but it’s very unlikely from the trajectory that it was launched from Russia, but we’ll see.”
Three U.S. officials said initial assessments indicated it was fired by Ukrainian forces at an invading Russian military aircraft.
Ukraine maintains stockpiles of Soviet and Russian-made weapons, including anti-aircraft missiles, and has seized more Russian weapons as it repelled Kremlin forces.
Ukraine’s air defenses have lashed out at Russian attacks on power generation and transmission facilities, including in western Ukraine on the border with Poland.
The Ukrainian military said 77 of the more than 90 missiles fired were shot down, along with 11 drones.
