Russian Ministry of Defense Responds to Claims of Missiles in Poland:
The statements of the Polish media and officials about the alleged fall of "Russian" missiles in the area of the settlement of Przewodów is a deliberate provocation in order to escalate the situation
No strikes were made against targets near the Ukrainian-Polish state border by Russia
The fragments published in haste by Polish media from the scene in the village of Przewodów have nothing to do with Russian weapons
Poland's PM Mateusz Morawiecki has convened a security meeting amid recent unconfirmed reports of two missiles landing in Poland.
A Polish government spokesperson has urged not to publish unconfirmed information in connection with reports about the reported explosions.
"Due to the emergency situation, Prime Minister Morawiecki, in consultation with President Duda, has ordered a meeting of the National Security and Defense Committee. The information that will be presented at the committee will later, if possible, be brought to the attention of the public to the maximum extent,” spokesman Piotr Müller said.
Hungarian PM Orban calls Security Council meeting after Ukraine stops pumping oil via Druzhba pipeline. The Ukrainian side claims the move was prompted by a voltage drop.
MOL, the leading oil and gas company in Hungary, is closely following the developments and has reportedly stated that there’s enough oil reserves for the next three months.

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has called an emergency meeting of the government’s national security and defense committee amid reports of a deadly strike near the nation’s border with Ukraine.
Poland is understood to have scrambled fighter jets in the wake of the reports that two people had been killed in an “explosion” allegedly caused by a missile strike. The Polish military and prosecutors have arrived at the scene of the blast, Visegrad 24 reports.
Russia's Mash Telegram channel has published a photo of what it said is a fragment from an S-300 defence system missile. This Soviet-era equipment is used by Ukraine.
Meanwhile, other sources have pointed the finger at Russia. Moscow fired dozens of missiles at Ukraine earlier on Wednesday
Earlier, Polish media reported blasts had rocked the town of Przewodow, which is located in the Lublin region, not far from the border with Ukraine. A grain drier facility was reportedly hit, killing at least two people, local media said.

Russia has not carried out any strikes against targets near the Polish-Ukrainian border, the defense ministry in Moscow said on Tuesday, following reports of a missile striking the village of Przewodow and killing two civilians.
Some Western media outlets and politicians have claimed that Russia is responsible for the incident. However, no evidence has been provided to support such assertions.
Missile fragments, photos of which were published by Polish media outlets on the scene, “have nothing to do with Russian weapons,” the Russian Defense Ministry said.
Statements by the Polish media and officials about the alleged ‘Russian’ missiles falling in the area of the village of Przewodow are “a deliberate provocation in order to escalate the situation,” the Russian military added.
Poland convened an emergency meeting of its national security council on Tuesday evening, after reports that at least two civilians were killed when one or more missiles struck the village in the Lublin region, just across the border with Ukraine.
While the AP reported that Russian missiles had crossed into Poland, citing an unnamed “senior US intelligence official,” the Pentagon declined to corroborate the claim.
Officials from the Baltic states blamed Russia and claimed that Poland should invoke NATO’s Article 5 in retaliation. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky accused Russia of “terrorism” and said NATO needed to “act” against this “attack on collective security.”
