Poland’s Radio Zet reported on Tuesday citing unofficial sources that two missiles hit grain dryers in the village of Przewodow in eastern Poland's Lublin Voivodeship, near the border with Ukraine.
According to the report, two people died in the accident. Polish President Andrzej Duda said it was not yet clear where the missile came from.
The Russian ambassador to Poland, Sergey Andreev, was summoned to the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs in connection with the incident.
Meanwhile, Biden told reporters on preliminary information in Bali that the missile that fell in Poland on Tuesday was fired from Russia.
The Russian Defense Ministry mentioned that the Russian army did not launch strikes targeting the Ukrainian-Polish border area.
"The wreckage reported by Polish media from the accident site in Przyodo has nothing to do with Russian firepower," the ministry said in a statement.
