Russian missiles reportedly cross into Poland, killing two
Russian missiles killed two people after crossing into Poland, according to a U.S. intelligence official, sparking fears of an escalation of the war in Ukraine.
Polish officials did not confirm the strike, but said top leaders were holding an emergency meeting due to a “crisis situation.”
The missiles reportedly killed two people near a grain silo in a village on the Ukraine border.
Pentagon press secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said it was “aware” of reports that missiles had struck inside Poland.
“I can tell you that we don’t have any information at this time to corroborate those reports and are looking into this further,” he said.
It’s unclear whether the strike was intentional or a mistake, and the Kremlin has yet to comment on the situation.

President Biden has repeatedly said that the U.S. will not directly engage in Ukraine, but that it would defend “every inch” of NATO territory.
