NATO will discuss the threat posed against Polish territory after a missile hit a Polish farm near Ukraine and killed two civilians. Warsaw said there was no need to trigger Article 5 of NATO's collective defense treaty. Polish President Andrzej Duda said his government doesn’t yet conclusively know who fired the missile that struck Polish territory late Tuesday. “It was more likely a Russian-made missile, but this is all still under investigation at the moment”, President Duda said.
According to U.S. officials, initial findings suggested that the missile that hit Poland was fired by Ukrainian forces at an incoming Russian missile, Associated Press reported. According to them, this happened against the backdrop of the recent devastating missile salvo fired by Russia against Ukraine’s electricity infrastructure. On November 15, Russia fired 90 missiles at Ukraine, but Ukrainian air defenses shot down 77 missiles, UNIAN agency reported.
