"It was a provocation, an intention, an alliance test. In this case, the next weeks will probably give us more answers," Polish Deputy Defense Minister Cezary Tomczyk said.

The Polish government believes that it was a Russian missile that fell near the village of Tarnawa-Kolonia in the Lublin Voivodeship on the night of 29-30 July.

At 3:40 a.m. local time, an unidentified object was detected in Polish airspace, while "at least a dozen" missiles were "operating over western Ukraine."
