Russia’s Latest Mistake Could Set off World War III; Country Will Consider Invoking NATO Article 4
By Townhall. Amid Putin’s long-running war against Ukraine, a new volley of Russian missiles missed their presumed intended target in Ukraine and struck in Poland on Tuesday, killing at least two Polish citizens and leaving sizable craters where they landed. According to reports, the missiles hit a village, Przewodów, near Poland’s border in an area where locals were drying grain.
Russia’s strike hitting Poland could significantly raise the stakes of the war that’s been raging since Putin’s forces invaded Ukraine on February 24. Until now, other nations have provided training, support, and war machinery to the two countries in conflict, but have not gotten directly involved on behalf of Russia or Ukraine. But because Poland is a member of NATO, and has now been attacked by Russia, it could invoke Article 5 of the NATO charter, triggering the alliance’s collective defense provision where “an attack against one Ally is considered as an attack against all Allies.”
That would draw in the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and the rest of NATO’s membership.

Being a NATO member, Poland could opt to invoke Article 5 of "collective defense" that an attack on one is an attack on all.
If Russia is culprit, such move would take Ukraine war to a whole new level

Country Will Consider Invoking NATO Article 4
By CNN. Poland has summoned the country’s Russian ambassador, after concluding that a Russian-made missile fell into its territory on Tuesday and killed two people near the Ukrainian border.
In the wake of the incident, the NATO member will increase the combat readiness of some troops and is considering activating Article 4 of the NATO military alliance treaty, officials said. . .
Russia’s Defense Ministry earlier denied targeting the border. It called the reports by Polish media, who first reported the deaths, “a deliberate provocation in order to escalate the situation,” according to a short statement late Tuesday. . .
Polish President Andrzej Duda said in a Tuesday address that Poland does not know who fired the missile, while noting that the missile was “most likely produced in Russia.” (Read more from “Country Will Consider Invoking NATO Article 4” HERE)
