Duda also added that currently “there is no convincing evidence of who launched this missile”. Investigative actions are ongoing. Probably, it was a Russian-made missile.
– I have informed all the leaders about the situation. Investigative actions are ongoing at the explosion site. American experts will help us with the examination of the scene,” he added.
According to Duda, “this is an isolated incident” and there are no signs that it will happen again.
He also added that tomorrow the Polish ambassador to NATO will probably demand the application of Article 4.
