BREAKING US intelligence official says Russian missiles landed in Poland killing two people

Russian missiles have killed two people in NATO member Poland, a senior US intelligence official has told the AP news agency.

Two people have been killed in Poland after explosions hit a farm near the border with Ukraine in what is thought to be a botched Russian missile attack.

UPDATE Initial findings suggest missile that hit Poland was fired by Ukrainian forces at incoming Russian missile – US officials.

Twin explosions rang out this afternoon in Przewodów, a rural village located five miles from the Ukrainian border in south western Poland.

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has called an urgent meeting to discuss national security, a government spokesman said on Twitter.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russian missiles had struck Poland and he had long warned that Russian actions were not limited to Ukraine.

The blasts came as Moscow launched fresh missile attacks across Ukraine today in what Kyiv said was the heaviest wave of missile strikes in nearly nine months of war.
