    Russian Rocket Falls in Poland Near Military Factory

    A Russian rocket fell in Poland's Lubelskie Voivodeship, approximately 30 km from a military factory in Krasniko/Krasnystaw that is being modernized for the production of 155 mm shells. The rocket, believed to be a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile, was part of a mass attack on Ukraine. Polish authorities are investigating the incident, with some speculating it could be due to a technical error or intentional targeting. The factory in Krasniko is one of three where production of such shells will be launched, both for Poland's needs and to ensure the needs of NATO, including for supply to Ukraine.
