U.S. President Joe Biden called an 'emergency' meeting with G7, NATO leaders after ally Poland says 'Russian-made' missile killed 2 in eastern part of country. Poland said early Wednesday that a Russian-made missile fell in the eastern part of the country, killing two people in a blast that marked the first time since the invasion of Ukraine that Russian weapons came down on a NATO country.

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said the government was investigating and raising its military preparedness. A statement from the Polish Foreign Ministry identified the missile as being made in Russia. But President Andrzej Duda was more cautious about its origin, saying that officials did not know for sure who fired it or where it was made. He said it was “most probably” Russian-made but that is being still verified.
