A senior US intelligence official says Russian missiles crossed into NATO member Poland, killing two people.
Polish government spokesman Piotr Mueller did not immediately confirm the information, but said top leaders were holding an emergency meeting due to a “crisis situation.”
Polish media reported that two people were killed late Tuesday after a projectile hit an area where grain was being dried in Przewodow, a Polish village near the border with Ukraine.
National Defense Minister Anita Anand said she was in close contact with Poland and the Canadian government is monitoring the situation closely.
