Russia has been blamed for a rogue missile strike on a Polish border town which has killed two people in an escalation of the war in Ukraine that now threatens to drag NATO into direct conflict with Moscow.

Poland’s prime minister called an urgent meeting of his national security committee amid reports that stray Russian strikes hit a farm in Przewodow, a village about six kilometres from the border, as more than 100 missiles were fired at Ukraine in the most intense raids since the invasion of February 24.

UK correspondent Enda Brady said so far there had been no word from Russia on the strike.

“This has been a terrible, terrible year in Europe and a terrible war, Putin’s war, and now it’s spreading into Polish territory,” he told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast.

Enda also touched on the English football team landing in Qatar, and the reaction in the country to the upcoming World Cup.
