NATO and Ukraine will hold emergency talks following Russia's recent attack on Dnipro with a new hypersonic missile. This missile, named Oreshnik, is said to be a response to Ukraine's use of Western long-range missiles. Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed the Oreshnik missile can reach speeds of Mach 11 and carry multiple warheads. He stated that this missile could have devastating effects comparable to nuclear weapons, even when using conventional warheads. In response to the attack, Ukraine's parliament canceled a session, and security measures were heightened in Kyiv. The Pentagon confirmed the missile is an experimental type, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict.
