Can missiles just go rogue? This is what we know about the rocket strike in Poland near Ukraine's border

ABC  

The United States and its Western allies are scrambling to investigate after a missile landed in Poland, killing two people. "There's pretty good evidence that because Russia has been running low on dedicated land-attack missiles they have actually been repurposing their own S-300s from an air-defence role into a land-attack role," Dr Hellyer said. Three US officials said preliminary assessments suggested Ukrainian forces fired the missile at an incoming Russian rocket amid the crushing salvo against Ukraine's electrical infrastructure on Tuesday. Missiles a sign of 'escalation' Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the missile hitting Poland was a "significant escalation" in his country's conflict with Russia. While Poland's president said there was no "conclusive evidence" yet as to who launched the missile, "it was most likely a Russian-made missile, but this is all still under investigation at the moment".
