Jakub Orzechowski/Agencja Wyborcza.pl via REUTERS Acquire Licensing RightsWARSAW, Sept 26 (Reuters) - Polish experts have confirmed that the missile that killed two people at a grain facility in southern Poland in November was fired by Ukraine, Rzeczpospolita daily reported, citing sources. Sources with knowledge of the investigation told Rzeczpospolita that Poland had established that the missile that landed in the village of Przewodow was an S 300 5-W-55 air-defence missile fired from Ukrainian territory. "At that time, the Russian positions were in a place from which no Russian missile could reach Przewodow." Rzeczpospolita reported that the Ukrainian side has not made any material available to Polish investigators. Lapczynski could not immediately be reached for comment and the prosecutor's office did not immediately respond to an emailed request.
