EU, NATO, and many Western countries reiterate support for Poland as 'missile strike' widens tensions in the region. Here are some of the reactions:
Two people were killed in an explosion in Przewodow, a village in eastern Poland about six kilometres from the border with Ukraine.
The United States and Western allies said they were investigating but could not confirm the blast resulted from stray Russian missiles, while Russia's Defence Ministry denied it. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg spoke with Polish President Andrzej Duda about the explosion in the east of the country.
"A collective response to Russian actions must be tough and principled. Among immediate actions: a NATO summit with Ukraine's participation to craft further joint actions, which will force Russia to change its course on escalation, providing Ukraine with modern aircraft," Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said in a statement on Twitter.Russia's defence minister dismissed reports that Russian missiles had landed in Poland, as a "provocation" intended to escalate tensions.
