TL;DR Summary

NATO and Ukraine are set to hold emergency talks following Russia's use of an experimental hypersonic missile in an attack on Dnipro, escalating the ongoing conflict. Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed the missile, capable of reaching Mach 11, was a response to Ukraine's use of Western-supplied long-range missiles. The missile, named Oreshnik, is said to be unstoppable by current air defense systems and can carry conventional or nuclear warheads. The attack has heightened tensions, with NATO allies considering additional air defense support for Ukraine.
