Russia’s military has fired its new hypersonic Oreshnik missile at a target in Ukraine during a massive overnight strike.
Ukraine confirmed the attack, saying it took place in the west of the country near the EU border. Moscow said the launch of the intermediate-range ballistic missile was retaliation for a supposed attempted Ukrainian drone attack on Vladimir Putin’s residence late last month – an allegation Kyiv and Washington have said is false.
Ukraine’s foreign minister said the use of an Oreshnik missile so close to the EU and Nato border posed a “grave threat” to European security and called on partners to increase pressure on Moscow. Kyiv also dismissed Russia’s attempts to justify the strike, calling them “absurd”.
Ukraine’s security service released photos it said showed fragments of an Oreshnik missile recovered in Ukraine’s western Lviv region.
