Russia’s president says Ukrainian government buildings could be hit with new Oreshnik ballistic missile
Vladimir Putin has threatened to use Russia’s new ballistic missile to turn targets in Kyiv “to dust”, as his forces used cluster munitions against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure on Thursday. The president said such a strike with the Oreshnik missile would be in response to Ukraine using western long-range missiles to hit targets within Russia. “At present, the ministry of defence and the general staff are selecting targets to hit on Ukrainian territory.
This was Russia’s 11th large-scale attack on Ukraine’s energy sector this year, authorities said. After several months with normal power supplies, Ukraine reintroduced scheduled blackouts for consumers about 10 days ago, with authorities warning that each attack further increases the likelihood of disruptions as temperatures start to drop below zero.
