President Zelenskyy insists a Russian missile hit a Polish village on Tuesday, despite NATO's conclusion that the origin was Ukrainian air defence -- but all say Russia bears ultimate responsibility.
Following the deaths of two Polish citizens when a missile landed in a village in the country's southeast, president Andrzej Duda says that there is no indication that "this (the blast) qualifies as an attack on Poland".
