Germany in close contact with Poland, NATO after blast -minister

Germany is monitoring the situation in Poland closely and is in contact with Warsaw and its NATO allies, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said on Tuesday after an explosion in a village in eastern Poland killed two people.

"My thoughts are with #Poland, our close ally and neighbour," Baerbock tweeted.

The U.S. State Department earlier said Washington was working to determine what happened and was working with the Polish government.
