Polish firefighters have confirmed two people were killed in an explosion in the eastern town of Przewodów, without giving the cause of the blast. An image being shared online shows what appears to be a large crater on what local media reports is Polish farmland, suggesting missile damage. Another image appears to show a fragment of a missile.If the missiles were confirmed to be Russian, it would mark the first time its missiles had landed on a Nato member, raising the question of how the security alliance might respond. The BBC's Paul Adams said there were a number of possible explanations for the incident. Russia has no interest in targeting Polish farms, so some kind of malfunction seems possible, he said.
