Missile that left crater deep inside Poland was probably Russian - Polish PM

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that an unidentified object which crashed into a field in eastern Poland was likely a Russian missile. The object created a 10-meter-wide crater near the village of Tarnawa Kolonia, approximately 100 kilometers from the Ukraine border. Tusk noted that while evidence suggests it could be a Russian Kh-101 ballistic missile, definitive confirmation is still pending. Ukraine's acting Foreign Minister claimed the missile crossed into Poland as part of Russia's attacks on Ukraine, violating NATO airspace. No casualties were reported, though the incident was considered serious due to its proximity to populated areas. Poland's military intercepted the object with an F-16 fighter jet and conducted a search afterward. This follows several instances of Russian drones and missiles landing in Poland since the start of the war in February 2022.
