A similar example might be when the U.S. bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade in 1999, killing 3 Chinese citizens. Technically, it was an attack on sovereign Chinese territory, albeit likely accidental. Some actually do believe it was on purpose as China was apparently helping indicted war criminals flee at the time. In the end, China decided the risk of escalation was not worth it for something that likely was an accident, even if there were some doubts (and still are in China). As others mentioned, I could see Poland unilaterally doing something, which would be interesting and scary at the same time.
