Pentagon investigates reports of Russian missiles hitting Nato member Poland

The Pentagon is investigating reports that Russian missiles crossed into Nato member Poland, killing two people.

Local reports said the weapons hit a grain store in Przewodow, Lublin, near the border with Ukraine, in what could mark a serious escalation of the war in Ukraine.

Polish prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki has called an urgent meeting of the country’s security and defence councils, a government spokesman said.

Pictures from the scene showed a huge crater in the ground. The Pentagon said it was taking the reports seriously but had no corroborating information.

It came as Moscow fired some 100 missiles on Ukraine, causing widespread power outages across the country, leaving the capital Kyiv without electricity and leaving at least one person dead.
. . .
The barrage came just days after Russian troops retreated from the key southern city of Kherson and followed a pattern in recent weeks of Moscow lashing out far from the front after battlefield losses.

Hours earlier, the Ukrainian president had called on world leaders at the G20 summit in Indonesia to help bring an end to Vladimir Putin’s invasion.
