Clarity on WPA rule 63 no rail after Contact

If the object ball is frozen to a rail and cue ball hits the object ball and the rail at the same time but fail to sink the object ball and none of the ball/cue ball hit a rail after the shot, is it a foul?

Under the same rules is it OK if any numbered ball or cue ball touch a rail after the shot or it is necessary that the object itself or the cue ball must touch the rail

This question relates to the following billiard rules:

    Yes, it is a foul. When the object ball is frozen to a rail, you need to either make it or hit a rail after contacting the OB.

    Yes, its a foul. When the OB is "on the rail" some ball must make contact with ANOTHER rail (or a ball drop in a pocket).

    Thus, in this situation, you either hit the OB such that the CB hits the rail afterwards--OR--you have to drive some ball to another rail or suffer the foul.
