We are talking about how the Russian missile strike on Poland affects our security, Stoltenberg told reporters, as quoted by Reuters. I have already called an emergency meeting of NATO's board of governors because of the situation in Poland. Poland's defense ministry spokesman told Reuters Friday that this was the first attack of this nature in Europe since World War II.

Emergency NATO Talks After Russian Missile Strike on Poland
Russia has responded to the Polish missile strike by russian missiles by launching a series of their own missiles. This act has triggered emergency talks within NATO, as they are fearful that Russia will retaliate with more military strikes. As Poland's neighbor, it is important that they be well defended against Russia. The United States is urging both sides to take these events as a sign for peace and not as cause for war.
NATO holds emergency talks in response
NATO has held emergency talks after a suspected Russia missile strike in Poland. The Western defence alliance's secretary general Jens Stoltenberg said the meeting was called to assess the serious situation. The missile strike reportedly killed two Polish servicemen and wounded two more. Mr Stoltenberg said: I condemn this reckless act by Russia, which directly affects our security. The US ambassador to Nato Douglas Lute also condemned the attack, saying it undermined global security.
NATO condemns Russian aggression
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has condemned the missile strike by Russia. Poland's Foreign Ministry said that a Russian missile hit near a populated area in the northern part of the country. The Russians have said that they were targeting an Islamic State training camp near the town of Al-Naimah, but Polish officials deny this and say that there was no military activity in the area when they were struck.
NATO promises to protect Poland
The U.S. stands with Poland in opposing Russia's aggression, Mattis said in a statement. As always, we stand shoulder to shoulder with our allies against any threat.
NATO promised to protect Poland after Russia fired cruise missiles at targets in Poland from the Caspian Sea and Kaliningrad last week, triggering emergency talks between Polish President Andrzej Duda and other NATO heads of state.
A missile strike in Poland has triggered emergency talks of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) as Russia denies involvement. The attack left two people dead and was likely conducted by a Russian drone, according to Polish authorities. Poland is an ally of the U.S. but not part of NATO. It's located right next door to Ukraine, which Russia invaded three years ago this month. Russia denied any connection to Tuesday's attack while Polish President Andrzej Duda called it unacceptable and said Poland would now accelerate its planned purchase of US missiles in response.
Final conclusion
Poland is not used to being the target of a missile attack. It was reported that Russian missiles were launched at Polish territory, but fortunately missed their targets. The incident has caused the NATO meeting to become an emergency session to discuss what Russia could be planning next.
