Ukraine shows fragments of new Russian missile after ‘Oreshnik’ strike

Ukraine on Sunday showed journalists fragments of the Russian missile used to strike the city of Dnipro last week, after Moscow said it had tested its new Oreshnik ballistic missile.

Russia on Thursday carried out a strike on the city, which Russian President Vladimir Putin said was a test of its new Oreshnik hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM).

Ukraine’s SBU security service displayed metal fragments, ranging in size from bulky to tiny, on fake grass in front of camouflage netting at an undisclosed location on Sunday, AFP journalists saw.

The SBU did not name the missile used but said it was a type they had not seen before.
