Putin Warns of Strikes on Kyiv's 'decision-making centers', paises Oreshnik Missile | N18G

Russia planned strikes on Kyiv's "decision-making centres" following Ukraine’s long-range attacks using Western-aided weapons. Kyiv remained shielded by robust air defences despite escalating Russian threats. Putin praised the Oreshnik hypersonic missile, claiming it rivalled nuclear weapons in destructive power without causing radiation. Fired on November 21, it reportedly reached 13,600 kph but carried dummy warheads. Russia developed the missile after alleged Ukrainian ATACMS strikes on November 19, with further ATACMS hits reported on November 23 and 25. Military, industrial, and government sites in Kyiv were priority targets. Putin emphasised Russia's advanced missile production dominance and planned to expand capabilities.
