The Ukrainian capital faced one of the most extensive bombardments of the conflict on Sunday. An hours-long barrage of drones and advanced projectiles rained down, leaving four people dead. Residents endured an unrelenting assault that tested the limits of the city's air defence networks.
Right at the centre of this escalation is the deployment of a rare intermediate-range ballistic weapon known as the 'Oreshnik,' a seriously destructive projectile. Marking only the third time this system has been deployed in the conflict, bringing it out now signifies a major shift in the sort of munitions being aimed at urban centres.
