Poland: 'We do not have any conclusive evidence' - President Duda on missile strike near Ukrainian border

Poland, Warsaw
November 16, 2022 at 01:15 GMT +00:00 · Published

President of Poland Andrezj Duda told reporters in Warsaw on Tuesday evening that his country could not be certain who launched the missile that struck a grain drying plant close to the border with Ukraine, killing two people earlier in the day.

"We know perfectly well that the Russian missile attack against Ukraine lasted practically all day, but we do not have any conclusive evidence at the moment as to who launched the missile," he said. "

"Follow-up activities are underway. <…> Most likely, it was a Russian-made rocket, but it's all still under investigation.”

The incident came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed 90 missiles had been launched against his country, and described the incident in Poland as a 'significant escalation'.

The Russian Defence Ministry strongly denied any responsibility, saying that "there were no strikes on targets near the Ukrainian-Polish state border by Russian weapons."
