The Americans have responded cautiously to reports of Russian missiles landing in Polish territory. The White House, Pentagon and state department all say they cannot confirm what happened and are working with the Polish government to gather more information. They’ve also repeated America’s commitment to defend every inch of Nato territory if it comes under attack, something President Joe Biden has called a “sacred obligation". But neither the US nor its Nato allies want to be drawn into a direct confrontation with Russia. The state department said that intent would be a factor in determining next steps. Kurt Volker, a former US special envoy for Ukraine, also told the BBC it was very important to establish whether any missile strike on Polish territory had been intentional or accidental. Nato should demand a clear explanation from Russia, he said, and, if a missile had gone astray, take steps to make sure it wouldn’t happen again. There was potential for mistakes on Tuesday, with Ukrainians trying to shoot down a massive barrage of Russian missiles targeting their electricity grids. 2:09 Polish President speaking to Zelensky After his earlier conversation with President Biden, Polish President Duda is now speaking to Ukrainian President Zelensky. We'll bring you the detail of that call when we have it. What we know about the 'missile strike' in Poland The latest on reports that stray Russian missiles hit a farm in a Polish village, killing two people: Poland's National Security Council is meeting after reports that Russian missiles struck a farm in Przewodów, near the Ukrainian border There is no official confirmation yet from the Polish government or US officials - the original source, AP reports, was US intelligence A Pentagon spokesman said: "We are aware of the press reports alleging that two Russian missiles have struck a location inside Poland near the Ukraine border. I can tell you that we don't have any information at this time to corroborate those reports and are looking into this further The Russian defence ministry has called the reports “a deliberate provocation” Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities were targeted by dozens of Russian missiles on Tuesday - Ukraine says Russia launched more than 90 missiles, of which 73 were shot down Ukraine says this was Russia's biggest strike against the country's energy system since the invasion in February - many power blackouts were imposed as infrastructure was hit. 2:19 EU leaders to discuss Poland at G20 later European Council President Charles Michel says that he will propose a "co-ordination meeting" on Wednesday with EU leaders who are currently attending the G20 summit in Bali. He tweets that he has spoken to Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and "assured him of full EU unity and solidarity in support of Poland". The day's just beginning in Bali, and we're expecting to hear from leaders there in the next few hours. An image posted on social media from a town 10km away from the blast shows smoke rising into the air This doesn't appear to be a deliberate attack When Russian missiles are being fired at targets so close to Poland’s border, and when Ukraine’s air defences are being activated to intercept them, it was perhaps only a matter of time before something like this happened. The fact that a missile landed on Poland’s side of the border is of course a worrying development, not just for Poland but for all the states on Russia and Ukraine’s western borders. Moldova has already complained about the effect of Russian missiles fired close to its borders. But what matters here is what the intended target was, whoever fired the missile. And so far there is no indication that Russia was intentionally targeting anywhere beyond Ukraine’s borders. The Kremlin knows that such a move would potentially trigger Article 5 of Nato’s constitution, theoretically bringing the entire alliance to Poland’s defence. That is not a place Nato wants to be in, especially just a day after Russia and America’s spy chiefs have just been meeting to discuss how to avoid unnecessary escalation in this war. Much of Ukraine’s vital supplies of defensive weaponry passes through Poland. Were that to be deliberately targeted it would be a different matter. But that does not appear to be the case here.
