The Associated Press has fired the reporter who broke the story that said Russia fired missiles that killed two people in Poland.
James La Porta has been dismissed after being seen as responsible for the November 15 story that said Russia carried out the missile strike, people at AP familiar with the decision have said.
Mr LaPorta, who had worked at AP since 2020, said: "I would love to comment on the record, but I have been ordered by the AP to not comment."
