in the village of Przewodów in the Hrubieszów poviat in the Lubelskie Voivodship, a Russian-made missile fell, killing two citizens of the Republic of Poland," Lukasz Jasina, a spokesperson for Poland's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.
It added that the photos of wreckage published by the Polish media "from the scene in the village of Przewodow have nothing to do with Russian weapons."At the site of the explosion in the Hrubieszów district of eastern Poland, local media showed an image of a deep impact and upturned farm vehicle, near the town of Przewodow, around four miles west from the Ukrainian border. CNN cannot independently confirm the photos.
"We are working calmly and in a very calm manner," Duda said during an address from the Bureau of National Security in Warsaw, as he urged calm and reassured the country of NATO allies' support. NATO allies responded with concern to the incident. Some were circumspect in their statements, neither speculating or confirming what caused the explosion.
A French defense source told CNN that France was being "extremely cautious" and that officials would not comment until they were able to "analyze all the available information." Latvian Defense Minister Artis Pabriks afforded blame on Russia, even though there had been no confirmation from Polish authorities at the time that one Russian missile landed in their territory.
