Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on Thursday that Russia conducted a strike using a ballistic missile armed with a non-nuclear hypersonic warhead on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro. The missile, named 'Oreshnik' by Russian missilemen, has a medium range and was deployed in response to Ukraine's utilization of American and British long-range weapons.
During a televised statement, Putin emphasized that Ukraine lacks the capability to defend against the new 'Oreshnik' missiles. The Russian missile, described as 'experimental,' reportedly carried multiple warheads, marking a potential first instance of such a weapon being employed in a conflict.
