Russia tests new missile against Ukraine as Putin warns of potential targets
Russia has launched a new intermediate-range missile, named Oreshnik, at Ukraine, according to President Vladimir Putin. This missile, which he claims is ten times faster than sound, is intended to target countries supporting Ukraine's military actions against Russia. Putin's announcement follows Ukraine's recent strikes using U.S. and British missiles, which he says prompted the attack on Dnipro. The Pentagon confirmed the missile is experimental and can carry conventional or nuclear warheads. In a shift from previous practices, Russia stated it would provide advance warnings for future strikes to allow civilian evacuations. This marks a change in approach, as prior attacks did not include such notifications.
