Putin announces strike on Ukraine with new ballistic missile and warns US and UK
Russia has launched a new hypersonic medium-range ballistic missile, named "Oreshnik," targeting a Ukrainian military facility. President Vladimir Putin announced this strike in response to Ukraine's recent use of Western long-range weapons, including US and British missiles. Putin stated that Russia would provide advance warnings before future strikes to allow civilian evacuations. He emphasized that Russia is prepared for any scenario, asserting the country's right to retaliate against states supplying weapons to Ukraine. The recent escalation follows Ukraine's deployment of US and British missiles against Russian targets. Ukraine reported damage and injuries from the missile strikes in Dnipro, while Russia claimed to have intercepted some of Ukraine's missiles.
