Poland, NATO say missile strike wasn’t a Russian attack
Children look at a crater created by an explosion in a residential area after Russian shelling in Solonka, Lviv region, Ukraine, Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2022.
For the first time since the start of Russia’s war on Ukraine, a missile has landed on NATO territory. But NATO says it believes the blast was likely caused, not by Russia, but by a stray missile fired by Ukraine’s air defenses. And on Nov. 15, a federal judge ordered the Biden administration to lift some Trump-era restrictions set in place during the COVID-19 pandemic that have allowed US authorities to expel more than 1 million migrants who have crossed the US-Mexico border. The order will not go into effect until Dec. 21. Also, Brazil’s President-elect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva essentially represented his country at the international climate summit in Egypt, although he has yet to take office. His speech today was greeted with a standing ovation. Plus, women’s movements in Afghanistan and Iran look to one another for support and inspiration.
