Russian missiles hit NATO territory and kill two after crossing shared Polish border with Ukraine.
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A Russian missile barrage on the Ukrainian power grid sent the war spilling over into neighboring countries Tuesday, hitting NATO member Poland and cutting electricity to much of Moldova.
The strikes plunged much of Ukraine into darkness and drew defiance from President Volodymr Zelenskyy, who shook his fist and declared: “We will survive everything.”
It was Russia’s biggest barrage yet, and some of the missiles crossed into Poland, where two people were killed, according to a U.S. official. It marked the first time in the war that Russian weapons have come down on a NATO country.
Polish government spokesman Piotr Mueller did not immediately confirm the information from a senior U.S. intelligence official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the situation.

A second person confirmed that apparent Russian missiles struck a site in Poland about 15 miles from the Ukrainian border.
But Mueller said top leaders were holding an emergency meeting due to a “crisis situation.”
Polish media reported that two people died Tuesday afternoon after a projectile struck an area where grain was drying in Przewodów, a Polish village near the border with Ukraine.
Neighboring Moldova was also affected. It reported massive power outages after the strikes knocked out a key power line that supplies the small nation, an official said.
Zelenskyy said Russia fired at least 85 missiles, most of them aimed at the country’s power facilities, and blacked out many cities.

If the past 2 years weren't bad enough, it sure seems like even more bad shit is going to happen after the midterms. Can't wait to see how the left spins this to deflect blame to others. By others I mean Trump and the right, but I'm sure you all know that.

Clearly Putin was enabled by Trump encouraging him to interfere with the election. It's Trump's fault Putin invaded Ukraine.

It's now being said that it was the remains of a rocket that Ukraine shot down.
But who knows who is telling the truth, even if anyone knows the truth.
