Two people have been killed in Poland after two stray Russian rockets landed near the border with Ukraine.

The rockets landed in the NATO state following Russia's mass bombardment of Ukrainian cities earlier today, which saw over 100 rockets launched.

According to the AP news agency, a senior US intelligence official said that the missiles were of Russian origin.

Poland's Prime Minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, has convened the Committee of the Council of Ministers for National Security and Defense Affairs "as a matter of urgency", government spokesman Piotr Müller confirmed, with local news sites claiming this is likely the result of the explosions.

The rockets fell in the town of Przewodów, hitting grain dryers. The police, prosecutor's office and the army are reportedly already on the site.

Meanwhile, Polish Armed Forces are reportedly on "high alert".

If this was a deliberate attack on the sovereign territory of Poland it must be repaid in blood

Given what just happened in Poland, Trump’s press conference probably won’t be getting the attention he wants.

Strikes put Ukraine in darkness; missiles cross into Poland
By JOHN LEICESTER
Associated Press
 Nov. 15, 2022

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia pounded Ukraine’s energy facilities Tuesday with its biggest barrage of missiles yet, striking targets across the country and causing widespread blackouts, and a U.S. official said missiles crossed into NATO member Poland, where two people were killed.

A defiant Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskyy shook his fist and declared: “We will survive everything.”

Polish government spokesman Piotr Mueller did not immediately confirm the information from a senior U.S. intelligence official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the situation. But Mueller said top leaders were holding an emergency meeting due to a “crisis situation.”

Polish media reported that two people died Tuesday afternoon after a projectile struck an area where grain was drying in Przewodów, a Polish village near the border with Ukraine.

Neighboring Moldova was also affected. It reported massive power outages after the strikes knocked out a key power line that supplies the small nation, an official said. ...

Oh just great....  it just escalated.

Now can we give Ukraine the weapons it needs to defeat the Russian army?

Unless Poland has clear, irrefutable evidence that Russia intentionally targeted these missiles at Polish territory, this should be chalked up to the unfortunate misfortunes of war, and of living near a war zone, and should encourage the West to give Ukraine the weapons needed to defeat the Orcs.

So, no attack by Russia on Poland, and nothing to respond to.

The evidence that exists does not appear to be consistent with any sort of an intentional attack by Russia on Poland, and therefore no basis for an Art. 5 retaliatory strike by NATO.

[Hoodat]

The real truth is that their missiles suck, their technology sucks, the corruption in their military is legendary, and they are waging a war against unarmed civilians because they are getting their asses handed to them by Ukraine's military.  They were probably aiming the missile to kill civilians in Lviv, 1,200 miles from the Donetsk front,  Except that some Russian general pocketed the money earmarked for modernized guidance systems, so they relied on some AA missile technology from the early 1960s instead.

Always ask: who benefits? Who benefits from missiles striking Poland? Russia doesn’t benefit from NATO invoking Article 5 to declare full war against Russia in defense of its territory.

In case you have an exceptionally thick skull I’m saying it was an accident regardless of whoever fired it, not a false flag attack or an intentional one.

But, hey, let's go to war against Russia anyway.

But, hey, let's go to war against Russia anyway.

No one in Poland is talking about invoking Article 5.  It is their call.

I pray that this becomes the general consensus and things don't spiral out of control.

But I'm not sure how Russia fixes an "oops".

You say "Oops" and offer some compensation for damage done if the oops really was your fault.  In this case, it's possible that the Russian missiles were shot down in flight, presumably by the Ukranians, in which case maybe Ukraine should be saying "oops", but since they would have shot the missiles down in self-defense, they most likely don't have any obligation under international law to pay compensation.

"Illogical’: Former NATO Commander Says Russian Missiles Hitting Poland Unlikely To Be ‘Deliberate Attack’

A former NATO commander said that it was “highly unlikely and illogical” that Russia deliberately attacked Poland during a Tuesday MSNBC appearance in the wake of a reported missile impact.

“If you’re Putin and you have decided to attack NATO, the odds of launching two random missiles into a field in Poland, that’s not how this is going to start,” retired Adm. James Stavridis, a former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO, told MSNBC host Chris Jansing. “So if you had to bet right now, I think you’d bet these were errant missiles. They went astray. That will require a significant response itself from NATO and we could talk about what that might include, but that’s very different than a presumption or an action response to a deliberate attack, which I find highly unlikely and illogical at this moment.”

[...]

Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty states that members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization view an attack on one member as an attack on all.

“We’re not there yet. Let’s take a deep breath and get the facts on the table,” Stavridis said.

I think everyone is pretty clear that Ukrainian civilians were the target of the attack - not Poland.
