(Cover story already in place) Poland says ‘no indication’ missile strike was a Russian attack By Isabel Keane November 16, 2022 8:18am Updated MORE ON: POLAND Polish men killed by missile strike near Ukrainian border identified Missile that hit Poland may have been fired by Ukrainian forces Biden says ‘unlikely’ missile that struck Poland came from Russia Russian missile strike kills two in NATO member Poland Poland and the head of NATO said Wednesday that the missile that hit Poland and killed two people was likely a stray fired by Ukraine’s forces and not a Russian strike.
“Ukraine’s defense was launching their missiles in various directions and it is highly probable that one of these missiles, unfortunately, fell on Polish territory,” Polish President Andrzej Duda said. “There is nothing, absolutely nothing, to suggest that it was an intentional attack on Poland.”
NATO leaders on Wednesday held an emergency meeting in Brussels, where Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg echoed the preliminary findings.
“We have no indication that this was the result of a deliberate attack,” Stoltenberg said.
But Stoltenberg added that he wanted to “be clear” that “this is not Ukraine’s fault.”
“Russia bears ultimate responsibility, as it continues its illegal war against Ukraine,” he added.

President Biden told reporters Tuesday evening that it was “unlikely” the deadly strike had been fired by Russia, but that NATO would meet to “support Poland’s investigation.”
Poland said it would invoke NATO’s Article 4, a formal call for allies to meet about a security threat, but it’s unclear if they still will after findings suggested that the blast was caused by a Ukrainian air defense missile.
