Russia fired a powerful hypersonic missile overnight at a target in Ukraine near the border with NATO member Poland, in what Kyiv on Friday called a new threat to European security that demanded a global reaction.
Moscow said it had fired the Oreshnik missile in response to what it has described as an attempted drone attack on one of President Vladimir Putin¡¯s residences last month, which Ukraine has denied and the United States ?has said did not happen.
It was only the second time Russia has fired the Oreshnik at Ukraine, and came amid a night of air ?attacks that ?Ukrainian authorities said also killed four people in Kyiv, knocked out power in the city and damaged the Qatari Embassy there.
