Ukraine news LATEST: Poland says blast likely ‘an accident’ caused by Ukrainian air defence as NATO blames Putin

AT least two people have died after what were believed to be Russian missiles hit a farm in Poland on Tuesday. The rockets rained down on Przewodów village, which is NATO territory, at around 3.40pm local time. Following the fatal blow, global leaders and NATO allies went on high alert, fearing Putin had escalated the conflict in Ukraine and begun a war on NATO soil. However, throughout today reports have emerged that the missile was likely to be part of Ukraine’s air defence system, which, in an “unfortunate accident,” was used to shoot down a Russian missile before landing in Poland. Despite the attack not being a purposeful provocation by the Kremlin, NATO has said “ultimately, Russia bears responsibility” for starting its brutal invasion of Ukraine.
