Russia reportedly struck Ukraine's western Lviv Oblast with an Oreshnik missile, an intermediate-range ballistic system capable of carrying nuclear payloads. The missile targeted a large, underground gas storage facility approximately 70 kilometers from the Polish border, causing a blackout. Ukrainian Telegram channels had alerted to a potential missile launch from Russia's Kapustin Yar test site shortly before the attack. The Oreshnik missile has a range of up to 5,500 kilometers and can carry multiple warheads, with speeds exceeding 12,000 kilometers per hour, posing a challenge for Ukrainian air defenses.
