Russia, Ukraine and Oreshnik
Digest more
Russia fired a hypersonic Oreshnik missile at Ukraine in retaliation for an alleged attack on one of Putin's residences that the U.S. and Ukraine have denied.
It is only the second time Moscow has deployed the hypersonic ballistic missile, which was first used to hit Dnipro in November.
Russia bombarded Ukraine with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles in a large-scale overnight attack, officials said Friday, killing at least four people. For only the second time, it used a new ballistic missile that it says flies at 10 times the speed of sound and is unstoppable.
Ukraine said the "Geran-5" bears similarities to Iran's Karrar attack drone, and uses a more powerful engine than Russia's current turbojet Shaheds.
