Missile ‘most likely produced in Russia,’ says Poland President

Poland does not have any conclusive evidence on who fired the missile that caused an explosion in the Przedwodow village near Ukraine’s border, president Andrzej Duda said on Wednesday.
In an address, Andrzej Duda said that the missile was “most likely produced in Russia,” CNN reported. During his address from the Bureau of National Security in Warsaw, Duda said that Poland is working in a “very calm manner,” as per the CNN report. Duda announced that Poland has raised the alert status for its military.
Duda stated that NATO allies have affirmed support for the United States. Duda stated that the US will be sending experts to conduct an investigation at the site of the explosion as part of a joint operation.
“We are working calmly and in a very calm manner,” CNN quoted Andrzej Duda as saying.
In a statement on Tuesday, Polish Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lukasz Jasina said that a “Russian-made missile” fell in Przewodow, which is close to Ukraine’s border and claimed lives of two people.
Jasina further said that the Polish Ministry of External Affairs has summoned Russia’s ambassador to Poland and demanded an “immediate and detailed explanation.”
Jasina in a statement said, “At 3:40 pm, a Russia-made missile dropped on the village of Przewodow, district Hrubieszow, Lubelskie province, and resulted in the death of two citizens of the Republic of Poland.”
The Polish foreign ministry did not specify details regarding the type of “Russian-made missile” which they claim landed in Przewodow.
Earlier on November 14, US President Joe Biden held talks with his Polish counterpart Andrzej Duda and expressed condolences over the loss of life in Eastern Poland. Duda briefed Biden about the ongoing assessment of the explosion.
Biden assured Poland about US support and assistance for the investigation and affirmed his “ironclad” commitment to NATO, according to the readout of the talks released by the White House.
