The information states that two people died in a village on the Ukraine-Poland border after a Russian missile hit. If confirmed this would be the first Russian strike on NATO soil.
The events take place while the G-20 Summit is underway, with leaders being briefed on developments.
The Polish prime minister has convened an emergency security council, according to the country's government spokesman Piotr Muller, who, however, has not given further information on the reason for the meeting, nor has he confirmed the Russian "strike".

According to the Associated Press, the government spokesman said, however, that this is a meeting regarding a "crisis situation".
The causes of this incident are not known at the moment, said the spokesman of the Fire Department Marcin Lebiedowicz.
Two photos from the site of the explosion are being circulated on social media, but it has not yet been possible to verify them.

The explosion occurred on a farm in a rural area, specifically in a village near the border with Ukraine.
It is noted that today, Tuesday, November 15, Russia launched a barrage of missile attacks in Kyiv, Lviv, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, with analysts estimating that if indeed the explosion in the Polish village was caused by a Russian missile, it might have happened "by accident".
