Poland Summons Russian Ambassador After Missile Incident, PM Says
Poland said the missile was a Russian Kh-101 and warned that similar border incursions could happen again, officials said.
- On Thursday, the Polish Foreign Ministry summoned the Russian ambassador after a Kh-101 missile landed in an eastern region near the Ukraine border; Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed the diplomatic action on Friday.
- Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz stated the Kh-101 was manufactured in the second quarter of this year near Moscow, while a Ukrainian expert at the scene confirmed the missile's origin.
- NATO and European leaders blamed Russia for the missile strike, which left a crater roughly 80km from the Ukrainian border and alarmed residents in the village of Tarnawa Kolonia.
- In September 2025, around 20 Russian drones entered Polish airspace and were shot down or crashed, reflecting a pattern of incursions across Eastern European nations.
- This incident recalls a November 2022 event when a Ukrainian air-defence missile killed two people in the village of Przewodow, underscoring Poland's vulnerability to cross-border incidents.
