By Poland’s PM Tusk is now visiting the site of the incident, and says that two missiles violated Polish airspace during the night, but clarifies that the other one quickly crossed back into Ukraine.
Later, defence minister Kosiniak-Kamysz clarified that only one missile crossed into Polish airspace.
Tusk also confirms that early indications suggest the missile that crashed in rural Poland was a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile, as reported earlier.
But he stresses “there are no reasons to think Poland was the intended target for this missile.”
He also says that the Polish air force was ready to shoot down the missile if it threatened an inhabited area.
He says the US is interested in joining the investigation into the incident.
