TL;DR Summary

Former U.S. representative Adam Kinzinger stated that Russia came close to triggering NATO's Article 5 by firing a missile that struck near a convoy transporting the Greek prime minister and Ukraine's president in Odesa. The missile strike, which reportedly hit within 150 meters of the leaders, resulted in sirens and explosions, with Ukraine's Navy reporting casualties. While the strike occurred in Ukraine, a non-NATO member, the proximity to a NATO state leader raised concerns about a potential collective response. Russia's defense ministry claimed the strike targeted a hangar used for naval drone operations, but the exact intent behind the attack remains unclear.
