Projectile which, according to reports, killed two people was an S-300 fired by Kiev forces, Russia says
The missile that hit Polish territory on Tuesday night had been fired by Ukrainian troops, the Russian Defense Ministry has concluded, after studying the published images from the site.
The missile fell near the city of Przewodow, killing two people, Polish officials reported. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the country’s military experts analyzed photos of the projectile’s parts that were published by media and “identified them as elements of a missile from the S-300 air defense system used by the Air Force of Ukraine.”
The ministry added that, on that day, Russian aircraft and ships conducted “massive” strikes on Ukrainian command centers and energy infrastructure. “The high-precision strikes were carried out only against targets on Ukrainian territory and no closer than 35 kilometers (21.7 miles) from the Ukrainian-Polish border,” it said in a statement on Wednesday.
