Article 4 of NATO’s founding treaty provides that any member state can raise the issue of a threat to its security and ask its allies to enter into consultations to consider the seriousness of the threat and how it can be countered.
A diplomat told Reuters the NATO alliance would proceed with caution, stressing that time was needed to clarify exactly what happened in the eastern Polish village of Szewodow, near the Ukrainian border, where two people were killed in an explosion on Tuesday afternoon.
Polish media reports attributed the explosion to Russian missiles, following a barrage of missile attacks earlier launched by Moscow’s forces in many parts of Ukraine.
