"Scary": Panic as Russian cruise missile hits Poland, leaves crater in ground

An object that came down in eastern Poland overnight appears to be a Russian missile, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Thursday, after authorities found a crater and scattered debris in a field following reports of an explosion.

It was the latest in a series of airspace incursions in countries on NATO's eastern flank — including Romania and the Baltic states — that have fueled fears of the war in Ukraine spilling over the borders of allies.

"All the indications are that it was a Russian Kh-101 ballistic missile," Tusk said at an emergency meeting, adding that there was no direct threat because the missile landed in an uninhabited area, but that it was still a "a very serious incident."

"We were really worried, because it's scary, because you don't know what's happening these days,” a local resident said.
