Horror video shows 'invisible' Russian hypersonic missile destroying buildings in Ukraine

Shocking new footage shows the moment a Russian missile struck in Ukraine. A clip filmed from a military drone shows people fleeing through the snow after a base in the Ivano-Frankivsk region was struck by a Kinzhal hypersonic missile.

Smoke is seen billowing through the air after bright flashes at the moment of impact. Russia's defence military earlier said it had used hypersonic weapons for the first time in combat during yesterday's strike, The Mirror reports.

The use of the missiles is the latest sign Vladimir Putin is getting increasingly desperate as his military struggles to carry out his illegal invasion of Ukraine. The strike is believed to have been carried out using Kinzhal - or 'Dagger' - missiles, which have been claimed to have a range of around 2,000 km.
