Early reports suggest that a Russian missile which struck a village in Poland near the border with Ukraine may have been fired by Ukrainian forces.

Two people, believed to be farmers, were killed in the blast.

Defence expert at Griffith University, Professor Andrew O’Neill, explained it will be difficult to get to the bottom of what happened during the deadly blast.

“I think the slightly complicating factor here is that we know that Ukrainian armed forces are using Russian kits, and that includes Russian S-300 anti-missile systems,” he told Neil Breen.

“So you could have a Russian manufactured missile that ends up in eastern Poland but it may in fact be fragments of an anti-missile system used by Ukrainian forces, who have either captured that Russian system and are using or in fact as Ukraine had prior to the war, quite a bit of Russian kit and equipment in their own armed forces.”
