Russia's Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile reportedly struck Kyiv oblast
Ukraine's monitoring channels have reported that Russia has likely used its Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile on Bila Tserkva in Kyiv Oblast on May 24.
This system is designed to release up to six individual warheads at hypersonic speeds, which then fall and strike separate targets independently.
The city's residents report hearing a loud, "unusual" blast, followed by several "smaller" explosions. They described it as the sound of metal, scattering across the air. This happened during massive ballistic missile attack on Kyiv.
Russia has used the Oreshnik against Ukraine twice. On 21 November 2024, the missile struck the city of Dnipro. On 9 January 2026, an Oreshnik struck infrastructure in Lviv Oblast
