Two Polish farmers were killed by a Ukrainian missile in November 2022, although it was believed to be a Ukrainian air defense missile responding to a Russian strike. At around 03:40 on Thursday (01:40 GMT), Poland's military used an F-16 fighter jet to intercept the object before it disappeared from radar sensors a few minutes later. A military helicopter was then sent to survey the area. Further southeast, in Lublin and Krasnystaw, air raid sirens went off in response to Russian bombs in neighboring Ukraine. Nearly an hour after Tarnawa Kolonia homeowners reported hearing a loud boom at approximately 4:00, police found the crash scene.

Pentagon to Review Senator Mark Kelly’s Comments on US Weapon Stockpiles Hegseth Questions Kelly’s Statements on Military Munitions US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered a Pentagon review after Democratic Senator Mark Kelly spoke publicly about America’s military weapon stockpiles during a television interview. The issue has sparked a political clash over national security, classified information, and military readiness. During an interview on CBS News’ Face The Nation, Kelly expressed concern about the condition of US munitions reserves following the recent conflict with Iran. He said he was surprised by how much the US had reduced its military stockpiles during the war effort. Kelly referred to a Pentagon briefing that discussed specific munitions and replenishment timelines. His comments quickly drew criticism from Hegseth, who accused the senator of publicly discussing sensitive military information. Pentagon Asked to Review Possible Disclosure In a post on X, Hegseth questioned whether Kelly had violated his oath by revealing details from a Pentagon briefing. He criticized the senator for discussing the matter on national television and called for an official review of the comments. Kelly strongly rejected the accusation. He responded by saying the information was already discussed publicly during a Senate hearing held the previous week. The Arizona senator also shared a video clip from the hearing, pointing out that Hegseth himself had acknowledged it could take years to rebuild certain US weapon stockpiles. Kelly argued that his comments did not expose classified material. He added that the American public deserves transparency about the cost of military operations and the long term impact on US defense readiness. Legal Dispute Between Kelly and Pentagon Continues The latest controversy comes as tensions continue between Kelly and the Pentagon leadership. Earlier this year, Kelly filed a lawsuit against the government after Hegseth allegedly attempted to demote him for criticizing the Trump administration. The legal battle began after Kelly and five other lawmakers released a video in November encouraging US service members to refuse unlawful military orders. Pentagon officials later challenged the lawmakers’ actions, leading to a broader political and legal dispute. In February, a federal judge temporarily blocked the Pentagon from carrying out the proposed demotion while the lawsuit moved forward. However, the Pentagon appealed the ruling. Recently, a federal appeals court appeared likely to reject the Pentagon’s effort to punish Kelly over his remarks to service members. If the court rules against the Pentagon, it would mark another setback for the Trump administration in its ongoing dispute with the senator. Debate Over National Security and Transparency The disagreement has fueled debate in Washington over how much information elected officials should share about military preparedness. Supporters of Kelly say lawmakers have a responsibility to discuss defense concerns openly, especially when military operations affect national resources. Critics, however, argue that public discussions involving weapons inventories and defense capabilities could risk exposing sensitive national security information. The Pentagon has not confirmed whether a formal investigation has officially started. Officials have only referred back to Hegseth’s public statements regarding the matter.
