Unlikely that missile was fired from Russia: Biden─── 05:19 Wed, 16 Nov 2022
US President Joe Biden says it is "unlikely" that a missile responsible for killing two people in Poland on Tuesday was fired from Russia.
According to the BBC, Biden says there is "preliminary information that contests" whether the incident in Poland was due to a missile fired from Russia.
Biden says world leaders will determine the next steps after finding out what happened, following investigations taking place in Poland.
"I don't want to say that until we completely investigate, but it's unlikely, according to the people who studied the trajectory, that it was fired from Russia, but we'll see."
In a tweet, the US president said he had spoken to Polish President Andrzej Duda and offered "full support for Poland's investigation of the explosion".
I spoke with President Andrzej Duda of Poland to express my deep condolences for the loss of life in Eastern Poland and offer our full support for Poland's investigation of the explosion.
