If this is so and not a cover story, then it's just a case of war spilling over the border.
Still, this explanation leaves more questions than answers. What would make a crater that size? The first thing that comes to mind is an S-300 / SA-10 Grumble anti-aircraft missile.
More evidence of how the Information Age has lifted the fog of war:

With the cooperation of @blueboy1969, we analyzed the available photos of fragments and came to a clear conclusion that they belong to the 48D6 motor of the 5V55-series missile of the S-300 AD system- a Ukrainian one.
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/11/16/world/russia-ukraine-war-news-g20Poland’s president and the secretary general of NATO said Wednesday that a Ukrainian air defense missile most likely caused a deadly explosion on Polish territory a day earlier but emphasized that Kyiv was not to blame for trying to defend itself.
President Andrzej Duda noted that Russian forces had launched a barrage of missile strikes on Ukraine and its civilian infrastructure on Tuesday. He said that early indications suggested that Ukrainian efforts to counter the hail of some 100 missiles had caused an “unfortunate accident” in Poland — not a direct attack on his country.
“We have no evidence at the moment that it was a rocket launched by Russian forces,” Mr. Duda told reporters. “However, there are many indications that it was a missile that was used by Ukraine’s antimissile defense.”
Jens Stoltenberg, the NATO secretary general, said after a meeting of the alliance’s envoys that a preliminary analysis suggests the incident “was likely caused by a Ukrainian air defense missile fired to defend Ukrainian territory against Russian cruise missile attacks.”
A fuller investigation is ongoing, he said, but he stressed that there was no indication of a deliberate attack by Russia or of any Russian plans to attack a NATO ally — meaning that NATO’s commitment to collective defense was not at issue.
