Russia on Sunday carried out overnight strikes on Ukraine using four types of missiles, including the hypersonic Oreshnik, in what Moscow described as retaliation for Kyiv’s attacks on civilian targets inside Russia.
According to Russian state news agencies, the strikes involved Oreshnik, Iskander, Kinzhal and Zircon missiles. Interfax quoted the Russian Defence Ministry as saying the attacks targeted Ukrainian military command facilities, air bases and enterprises linked to Ukraine’s military industrial complex. Moscow claimed all the strikes were successful. Reuters could not independently verify the battlefield reports.
