Irish Examiner view: Fears allayed but Europe on edge

Polish missile hit

Experts look through the site where a Russian-made missile hit, killing two men, in Przewodowo, eastern Poland.

For a worrying couple of hours on Tuesday, the Polish village of Przewodow seemed a candidate for inclusion on a short, evocative list of international flashpoints such as Sarajevo in 1914.

A missile landed on a grain dryer in the village, which lies just four miles from the Ukraine border, killing two people.
