Two people killed in Poland by Russian missile, senior US intelligence official says

Two people have been killed after Russian missiles crossed into Poland, according to a senior US intelligence official.

Polish media reported that two people died after a projectile struck an area where grain was drying in Przewodow, a Polish village near the border with Ukraine. Polish government spokesman Piotr Mueller confirmed that top leaders, including Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, are holding an emergency meeting due to a “crisis situation”.

It is the first time a Russian attack on Ukraine has killed people in a NATO country since the start of the war. Under the 'collective defence clause' of NATO's founding treaty, an attack on one NATO nation is considered an attack on all NATO nations.
