Reuters: Emergency meeting of NATO ambassadors on Wednesday at Poland’s request
The ambassadors of the NATO member states will hold talks on Wednesday (16/11), after Poland’s request to activate Article 4 of the allianceaccording to European diplomats cited by Reuters.
One of the diplomats said the alliance would proceed cautiously and needed time to verify exactly what had happened.
What is Article 4
When a member state of the Alliance considers itself threatened it can ask its partners to start consultations to consider the seriousness of the threat and how it can be dealt with. Decisions are taken unanimously.
Polish government spokesman Piotr Miller said a request by Warsaw for consultations with its NATO allies under Article 4 was necessary in the wake of the deadly blast in a village near the border with Ukraine.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg had earlier contact with Polish President Andrzej Duda.
“I spoke with the President of Poland, Duda, about the explosion in Poland. I expressed my condolences for the loss of life,” Stoltenberg said in a tweet.
He adds that “NATO is monitoring the situation and the Allies are consulting closely. It is important to document all the facts.”
Commission President Ursula von der Leyen expressed her concern at reports of an explosion in Poland, following a barrage of Russian missile attacks on Ukrainian cities, in a tweet.
