Russia launches new missile in Ukraine and warns of potential global conflict

Russia has launched a new hypersonic medium-range ballistic missile, named "Oreshnik," targeting a military facility in Dnipro, Ukraine. This follows Ukraine's recent strikes on Russian territory using U.S. and British missiles, escalating tensions in the conflict. President Vladimir Putin warned that the situation could lead to a global conflict, stating that Russia would respond decisively to any further aggression. He emphasized that Russia considers itself entitled to strike military facilities in countries supplying weapons to Ukraine. Putin criticized the U.S. for withdrawing from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty in 2019, claiming it has prompted Russia to develop new missile capabilities. He stated that Russia's future missile deployment will depend on Western actions.
