President Biden spoke by phone with Polish President Andrzej Duda, the White House said Tuesday, after suspected Russian missiles crossed into Poland, killing at least two people in the NATO ally.

The White House said Mr. Biden, who is attending the Group of 20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, was briefed on the situation before his call.

The Polish government convened an urgent national security meeting earlier Tuesday to address what officials called a “crisis situation,” after several Russian missiles apparently strayed into Poland amid a barrage of strikes targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure far from the front lines in Ukraine’s eastern regions.
