A senior White House official said they do not have confirmation of any rocket or missile strike in Poland, but that US officials are currently working to try and figure out exactly what has happened.
US officials have also been monitoring reports of dozens of missile strikes in Ukraine over the course of the last day.
National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson tweeted they have seen reports from Poland but also says they are still determining what happened.
Watson tweeted Tuesday, “We've seen these reports out of Poland and are working with the Polish government to gather more information. We cannot confirm the reports or any of the details at this time. We will determine what happened and what the appropriate next steps would be.”
State Department principal deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel echoed that the United States cannot confirm the reports of missiles hitting Polish territory and killing two.
“We have seen these reports out of Poland and are working with the Polish government and our NATO partners to gather more information,” Patel said at a press briefing. “We can't confirm the reports or any of the details at this time”
Patel said he didn’t have any calls from Secretary of State Antony Blinken to read out.
Patel also responded to a statement from Russia's Defense Ministry, in which Russia said reports of the strike in Poland were a "deliberate provocation in order to escalate the situation."
“The United States is certainly not trying to escalate or incite the situation at all,” Patel said when asked by CNN’s Kylie Atwood about the Russian Defense Ministry comments.
“We have seen the same reports that you all have and we are working with the Polish government to gather more information,” Patel said at a State Department briefing Tuesday. “We're not at a point where we can confirm some of these reports that we're seeing.”
It’s currently just after 3:30 a.m. in Bali, Indonesia, where US President Joe Biden is attending the Group of 20 summit.
Biden has two events on his schedule during the day ahead, which is the last of his foreign trip – a tree planting with G20 leaders, followed by a meeting with the new UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
He is then scheduled to depart the summit shortly after midnight ET.
