'Unlikely' that missle that killed two in Poland was fired by Russia, Joe Biden says

Two people have died in Poland after a missile hit the country, sparking an emergency meeting between world leaders.

Reports came in the late evening on Tuesday after the British government said it was looking into the claims. Shortly after nations were first made aware of the incident, Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said the UK was in contact with fellow Nato allies.

Initial findings suggest the missile was fired by Ukrainian forces at an incoming Russian missile, according to US officials. US President Joe Biden, who called an 'emergency' G7 meeting early this morning in Indonesia, added that it was unlikely the missile was fired from Russia.
