Pentagon says it was unable to corroborate media reports that two Russian missiles had landed inside NATO member Poland, but that it is 'looking into this further'
"We have no information right now to corroborate that there has been a missile strike" in Poland, Pentagon says, adding, it is looking into the media reports further.
Emergency officials and army troops reached the scene of the explosion in the village of Przewodow in the Lublin district. The Pentagon has said it was unable to corroborate media reports that two Russian missiles had landed inside NATO member Poland, but that it was investigating the claims. "We are aware of the press reports alleging that two Russian missiles have struck a location inside Poland or the Ukraine border," Pentagon spokesperson Pat Ryder said on Tuesday.
"We have no information right now to corroborate that there has been a missile strike," Ryder told reporters, adding that the Pentagon was "looking into this further."Statements of Polish media and officials about the alleged fall of "Russian" missiles are a "deliberate provocation in order to escalate the situation," Russia said.
