Did Missile Hit Poland Instead of Kyiv After Coordinates Typo?

The U.S. and Ukraine were at odds over a missile strike that killed two people in Poland, with Kyiv initially claiming the explosion was caused by Russia despite NATO's assertion it was an accident.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said at a press conference he had "no doubt that it was not our missile," a message later contradicted by U.S. President Joe Biden, who told reporters at the White House "that's not the evidence," per CNN.
Amid the confusion and fingerpointing, however, posts have appeared on social media which allege that the cause of the attack may have been a typing error by artillery target coordinators.
A number of social media posts from November 16 to 18, 2022, suggest that the map coordinates of Przewodów, the Polish village where a missile hit, have the same longitude as Kyiv and the latitude of Lviv.
