Kyiv, Ukraine, May 24 (AFP) May 24, 2026
Russia launched a nuclear-capable Oreshnik medium-range hypersonic missile as part of massive overnight strikes on Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday.

"Three Russian missiles against a water supply facility, a market burnt down, dozens of residential buildings damaged, several ordinary schools, and he (Russian President Vladimir Putin) launched his 'Oreshnik' against Bila Tserkva (in central Ukraine). They are genuinely deranged," Zelensky said on Telegram.
