German Chancellor Friedrich Merz criticized Moscow following reports of a suspected Russian missile landing on Polish territory. Merz denounced what he described as "Russia's irresponsponsibility and its desire for escalation" as tensions heightened along NATO's eastern flank.
In response to the incident, NATO's European command announced on Thursday that military officials are in close contact with Polish authorities to evaluate the situation and coordinate next steps.
