In Przewodow, on the border with Ukraine

"Two stray rockets fell on Tuesday in the village of Przewodów in the province. Lublin. Two people died, Radio ZET reported unofficially."
(Google translate as I don't speak Polish)

[ichkeria]

Poland's defence minister has convened an emergency meeting of the country's Committee of the Council of Ministers for National Security & Defence Affairs.”

[wolf63]

They say 'two stray missiles' as if they were just innocently flying through the air.

They were fired from something and had been destined to hit a target. It may be that they were intended to hit Przewodów or somewhere else. Incompetent soldiers or faulty missile-firing machines?

Man's inhumanity to man.

[ichkeria]

Wheh they say "stray" they just mean "off target".
Like most of their fecking missiles.
It was only a matter of time beore something like this happened and I am hoping the consequences for russia will be grave. But I am not holding my breath.
Moldova's power grid was also taken out by the strikes in Ukraine

[bednobs]

it seems odd that this story hasnt been headline news here. it is a truly grave development

[ichkeria]

It is breaking news in Poland

[ichkeria]

The victims were in some sort of farm building apparently, in a remote rural location, so may only have been discovered.
At the last count that's Poland 2, Ukraine 1 in deaths from the 20 missiles out of 90 what weren't shot down, although even shot down missiles can be deadly.

[Old_Geezer]

Oh. And Poland is a NATO member and has been attacked, possibly in error. That could be awkward.

I think you are right not to hold your breath.

[CoolBritannia]

There are currently nine RAF Typhoon fighter jets visible on flightradar24 flying over GB.

This will go nuclear sooner rather than later if Russia (Putin) doesn't back off.

[ichkeria]

It won't go nuclear.
However, Przewodow is 100km from Lviv.
That is a hell of a "stray"

[royfromaus]

Are you suggesting it was deliberate, ichkeria?

[ichkeria]

I’m just stating that it’s a hell of a stray

The town that was hit is 5 miles from the Ukrainian border.

[ichkeria]

Options might be:

It was deliberate
It was aimed at something nearby
It was a crap missile
It wasn’t a missile

[ichkeria]

As far as we know Lviv was the westernmost target
But lots and lots of the wretched things were shot out if the air
Another possibility is it was shot down and the debris strayed.
I cannot see that morally that’s any different from the actual missile hitting

It's also on the BBC website now:

Hearing it was at least one Russian cruise missile that hit. Possibly aimed at a power plant 20 miles from the impact site
