Russia launches a large combined drone and missile attack on Kyiv on Sunday, using the hypersonic Oreshnik ballistic missile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says. Multiple outlets report it is the third known use of the Oreshnik in the war in Ukraine, with earlier reported deployments targeting Dnipro in November 2024 and the Lviv region in January. The strikes also involve other missiles and drones, and Ukrainian authorities describe casualties including at least two deaths, with other reports putting the toll at four, and dozens of injuries. France 24 says more than 50 sites are hit, including residential areas and facilities such as a school and a museum, with emergency responders conducting search and cleanup. CBS News and other reports also note European leaders condemn Russia for using the missile. Russia says it uses the Oreshnik only for its third time and frames the attack as retaliation, while Ukraine rejects claims that civilians are targeted and says attacks focus on military infrastructure. Separate reporting prior to the Sunday strike also cites Zelenskyy warnings that Russia was preparing an Oreshnik strike based on intelligence from Ukraine and Western partners.
