PM Tusk says Russian missile appears to have come down in eastern Poland

An object that crashed in eastern Poland overnight has been identified as a Russian missile, according to Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. The missile, believed to be a Kh-101 ballistic missile, landed in an uninhabited area near the village of Tarnawa-Kolonia, approximately 100 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. Authorities discovered a crater measuring about 10 meters wide and debris in a field following reports of an explosion. This incident follows recent concerns over Russian air activity near NATO's eastern flank, including airspace violations in Romania and the Baltic states. Tusk emphasized there was no direct threat to Poland, noting that Ukrainian fighter pilots had attempted to intercept the missile before it reached Polish territory. He reiterated Poland's commitment to supporting Ukraine, potentially offering more military assistance such as Patriot defense systems. The Russian embassy in Warsaw has yet to comment on the incident.

Bias read (Center): The article presents information from multiple sources, including the Polish Prime Minister, Ukrainian officials, and NATO representatives, without overtly favoring any side. It includes quotes from both Polish and Ukrainian officials and notes the lack of immediate response from the Russian embassy
