The new ballistic missile fired by Russia struck a military-industrial facility in the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro, but its real mission was delivering a deadly new message to NATO.
Hours after Thursday's strike touched off a debate over whether the Ukrainian plant was hit by an intercontinental ballistic missile, President Vladimir Putin made a rare and surprise appearance on Russian television to clear up the mystery.He described it as a new, intermediate-range ballistic missile that raced to its target at 10 times the speed of sound.
What's Putin's message to the West?Putin has described Thursday's use of the Oreshnik as a response to Ukrainian strikes on Russian military facilities in Bryansk and Kursk regions earlier this week with Western-supplied weapons.One of those strikes killed and wounded an unspecified number of Russian servicemen, which the Kremlin leader said added 'elements of a global character' to the conflict.
