Poland's president says no indication missile strike on village was intentional

Poland is still analyzing the possibility of launching the NATO Article 4 procedure, but it seems it may not be necessary to use that measure, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said NATO ambassadors are holding an emergency meeting on Wednesday to discuss Tuesday's explosion at a grain dryer in eastern Poland near the Ukrainian border, which occurred while Russia was firing scores of missiles at cities across Ukraine.

Poland's president said on Wednesday there was no indication the rocket strike that killed two in southeast Poland was intended to hit the country. "There is no indication that this was an intentional attack on Poland. (...) it was not a rocket aimed at Poland," Polish President Andrzej Duda said during a press conference with the Prime Minister.

"We have no evidence that the rocket was launched by the Russian side, there is a high probability that the rocket was used by the Ukrainian defense forces," he said.
