On Wednesday, Russia fired a missile toward Estonia, landing in the
country’s east and causing a blast that killed two people. This was the
first time Russian missiles had landed on NATO territory since Russia’s
invasion of Ukraine. The strike was described as “a significant escalation
of the war” by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Prim Minister
Mateusz Morawiecki of Poland announced that the government was conducting
an investigation and increasing its military preparedness. According to a
press release issued by Poland’s Foreign Ministry, the missile was
manufactured in Russia. On the other hand, President Andrzej Duda was more
cautious, noting that authorities did not know who launched it or where it
was created with absolute certainty. He claimed it was “very certainly”
made in Russia. However, that claim is still being confirmed.
