U.S. Defense Department press secretary Pat Ryder said the Pentagon is aware of reports claiming that “two Russian missiles” hit an area inside Poland near the Ukrainian border and killed two people.

The Russian Defense Ministry issued a statement rejecting claims it was involved and said it hasn’t carried out “strikes against targets near the Ukrainian-Polish border” using “Russian weapons,” according to reports. The statement further asserted that claims to the contrary are “deliberate provocations.”
