Poland’s National Security Council is meeting Finnish time to discuss explosions near the Ukrainian border that claimed two lives yesterday.

The Security Council is expected to discuss whether Poland should activate Article 4 of the NATO Charter – that is, whether NATO should be convened for consultations.

According to Article 4, all NATO countries are to be consulted if a member feels that its territorial integrity, political independence, or security is threatened.

Polish President Andrzej Duda says there is no conclusive evidence yet on who fired the missile that landed on Polish soil, six kilometers from the Ukrainian border.

Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda believes that Poland will activate Article 4 of the NATO Charter for joint consultations.

Nausėda says he received the information in a call with President Andrzej Duda.

The Lithuanian President also states that the missile strike in Poland indicates that NATO should deploy more air defense and faster along the alliance’s eastern flank.
