Unconfirmed reports claim that Russia hit a target in Lviv region with its newest ballistic weapon
An unverified video posted on social media shows a suspected Russian Oreshnik hypersonic missile strike in western Ukraine.
CCTV footage shared by RIA Novosti on Friday shows bright projectiles landing in Ukraine's Lviv region, which borders Poland. Russian officials have not confirmed the strike.
Lviv Mayor Andrey Sadovoy said "a piece of critical infrastructure" had been hit. Russian Telegram news channels suggested the missile struck an underground gas facility in the city of Striy, about 60 km from Lviv.

If confirmed, it would be the second time Moscow has used its newest nuclear-capable ballistic missile in Ukraine.
In November 2024, Russia fired the Oreshnik at a weapons plant in Dnepr in what Moscow described as a successful "combat test." By late 2025, the missiles had been delivered to Russia's close ally, Belarus.
