On Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia had again deployed its "Oreshnik" intermediate-range ballistic missile, this time in the Kyiv region.

The Russian Defence Ministry later confirmed the launch, saying it came as part of a retaliatory attack following Ukrainian strikes against "civilian targets," which Kyiv has denied.

Moscow's use of the "Oreshnik" missile has sparked strong reactions abroad.
