US: “Incredibly disturbing” reports from Poland, according to the State Department

The reports that Russian missiles fell on Polish territory near the Ukrainian border are “incredibly troubling,” said Vedant Patel, a spokesman for the US State Department, this evening, adding that Washington is trying to clarify exactly what happened before considering its next actions.

The State Department is in touch with the foreign ministries of allied countries and is working closely with the Polish government, Patel told a news conference.

THE White House is unable to confirm Polish media reports and is working with the Polish government to gather more information, a spokeswoman for the National Security Council of USA Adrienne Watson, questioned by reporters about the possibility that Russian missiles fell on a village in eastern Poland, near the border with Ukraine.

The statements of the Pentagon representative were earlier on the same wavelength. “We are aware of press reports that two Russian missiles hit a site in Polandnear the border with Ukraine. I can tell you that we currently have no information to confirm these reports and are looking into the matter furtherPatrick Ryder said.
