The note adds that Guterres also “sends his condolences to the families of the victims” and wait “for a thorough investigation to be carried out” about the explosion, which occurred the day before in a Polish town near the border with Ukraine.

The explosion, which was attributed by Warsaw to a “Russian-made missile” but whose release has been denied by Moscow, has aroused international alarm and led to the convening of various meetings to analyze the incident, from the NATO until the G20.

Likewise, the president of the United States, Joe Biden, and other world leaders of the G7 and NATO who are participating in the G20 summit in Bali have met emergency on the Indonesian island in order to discuss the incident in Poland.
