Russia hits Kyiv with hypersonic ballistic missile in ‘deranged attack’
Russia launched a massive attack on Kyiv and its surrounding region, utilizing its hypersonic Oreshnik ballistic missile for the third time in Ukraine. The assault, described by Ukraine's president as "deranged," resulted in at least four deaths and dozens of injuries. The Oreshnik missile struck the city of Bila Tserkva in the Kyiv region, while other strikes hit a water supply facility, a market, residential buildings, and schools across the area, including the capital. Russia's defense ministry confirmed the use of the Oreshnik and other missiles, stating the attacks were retaliation for Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory. Kyiv was reportedly the primary target of the barrage, which also damaged cultural institutions and government headquarters.
