NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said on Wednesday the explosion in Poland that claimed two lives was likely caused by a Ukrainian missile defending against Russian strikes.
The NATO chief, who also said Russia bears responsibility for the explosion, addressed the media a day after it killed two in Przewodow, a Polish village near the border with Ukraine, on Tuesday.
President Joe Biden convened an emergency meeting with Group of Seven leaders in Bali, Indonesia, where the G-20 summit was taking place following the Polish explosion. The group includes the leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, along with the president of the European Council and the Spanish and Dutch prime ministers.
“There is preliminary information that contests that,” Biden told reporters if the rocket was fired by Russian forces. “It is unlikely in the lines of the trajectory that it was fired from Russia, but we’ll see.”
