Moscow says intermediate-range ballistic missile launch was retaliation for attempted drone strike on Vladimir Putin’s residence
Russia’s military has said it fired its new hypersonic Oreshnik missile at a target in Ukraine during a massive overnight strike.
Ukraine confirmed the attack, saying it took place in the west of the country near the European Union border. Moscow said the launch of the intermediate-range ballistic missile was retaliation for a supposed attempted Ukrainian drone attack on Vladimir Putin’s residence late last month – an allegation both Kyiv and Washington have said is false.
