Poland: Russian Missile Likely Caused Crater Near Ukraine Border
Polish officials suggest an air-launched cruise missile, probably Russian, created a 10-metre wide crater near the Ukrainian frontier.
Polish officials have stated that a missile, believed to be Russian, was the probable cause of a 10-metre (33-foot) wide crater discovered near the village of Tarnawa Kolonia, situated about 100 kilometres from Poland's border with Ukraine.
The unidentified object's impact site is located a short distance from the village. The incident took place during a broader Russian offensive against Ukraine, which included attacks on the city of Lviv.
Poland's Defence Minister, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, confirmed that the object was "most likely" a Kh-101 air-launched cruise missile. He described this as "the most probable hypothesis" regarding the projectile's origin and type. This assessment aligns with earlier remarks from the Polish Prime Minister, who also suggested the missile was "probably Russian."
Further details emerged from the Inspector of the Polish Air Force, who noted that during Russia's recent attacks on Ukraine, two missiles were identified as posing a direct threat to Polish territory. These observations underscore the ongoing security concerns in the region as the conflict in neighbouring Ukraine continues.
The presence of the crater and the subsequent official statements highlight the close proximity of the conflict to Poland and the potential for spillover incidents. Investigations are expected to continue to gather further evidence regarding the missile's trajectory and specific origin.
