Joe Biden has cast doubt on the origin of a missile that hit Poland and killed two people late on Tuesday, saying it is “unlikely” to have been fired from Russia.
The US president was speaking after a meeting with G7 and NATO leaders to discuss the incident, which hit near Poland’s border with Ukraine.
Ukrainian and Polish authorities said the explosion was caused by a Russian-made missile, but Mr Biden appeared to step back from this.
He said: “There is preliminary information that contests that.
“I don’t want to say that until we completely investigate it, but it is unlikely in the lines of the trajectory that it was fired from Russia but we’ll see.”
