Likely what happened is that all the source knew what that missiles had hit Poland, and they were (made in) Russia. From that point, things will have been lost in translation, ignored (not necessarily maliciously) in the rush or augmented due to unconscious biases. It's certainly an editorial problem if this kind of information is not being double and triple-checked for confirmation and precision.
