World leaders are in crisis talks after the war in Ukraine spilled over the border to neighbouring Poland with fatal consequences.

But early information suggests that it may not have been caused by a missle fired from Russia, according to US President Joe Biden.

Two people have been killed after missiles landed near the Polish town of Przewodow, just kilometres from the Ukraine border.

Russia has strenuously denied it's responsible. Global leaders gathering at the G20 summit in Bali have held an emergency closed door meeting.

Speaking to media in the last few hours, US President Joe Biden cast doubt on claims the missile was fired from Russia.
