The object that hit a house in an eastern Polish village earlier this month was likely a missile fired by a Polish aircraft that was intended to shoot down Russian drones in the NATO-member's airspace, a government minister said on Wednesday.

Polish authorities initially said the home in the village of Wyryki-Wola had likely been hit by one of the 21 Russian drones that entered Poland's airspace on the night of September 9-10.

However, Rzeczpospolita daily reported on Tuesday, citing sources, that the house was hit by a missile fired from a Polish F-16 fighter jet whose guidance system malfunctioned.

"Everything indicates that it was a missile fired by our plane, defending Poland, defending the fatherland, defending our citizens," the Minister Responsible for Poland's Special Services Tomasz Siemoniak told TVN24.

Amazon allegedly tricked people into signing up for Prime and then trapped them with a monthly subscription by making it next to impossible to cancel. This settlement fails to hold Amazon executives accountable for their actions and the fine is effectively a slap on the wrist – it’s less than 1-percent of Amazon’s revenue last year. When the government does not fight for real accountability, giant corporations like Amazon treat fines for potentially illegal conduct as just the cost of doing business and it risks incentivizing future lawbreaking that costs people money.
