U.S. Warns of Possible Hypersonic Oreshnik Missile Strike by Russia on Ukraine

Dec 11, 2024, 08:12 PM

The United States has issued a warning that Russia might deploy its new experimental hypersonic Oreshnik missile against Ukraine in the coming days. Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh confirmed the possibility of another missile strike but did not provide a specific date. U.S. intelligence views the missile as an attempt at intimidation rather than a significant shift in the battlefield dynamics. The warning comes amidst ongoing tensions, with both nations seeking leverage in negotiations to end the nearly three-year conflict.
