NATO and Ukraine to discuss response after Russian hypersonic missile attack
NATO and Ukraine will hold emergency talks following a Russian missile attack on Dnipro, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict. The missile, described as experimental and hypersonic, was launched in retaliation for Ukraine's military actions. In response to the attack, Ukraine's parliament canceled a session and tightened security measures. President Putin claimed the missile could evade Western air defenses, while officials in Hungary and the Czech Republic warned of potential consequences from Western military support to Ukraine. The Pentagon confirmed the missile is a new type based on Russia's intercontinental ballistic missile. Additionally, Russia attacked a residential area in Sumy with drones, resulting in casualties.
