Kyiv hit by nuclear-capable Oreshnik in major strike, casualties mount

Russia launched a large-scale Kyiv assault using the nuclear-capable Oreshnik missile, killing at least 2 and wounding 83 as drones and missiles struck government offices, residential buildings, a market and schools. The weapon, used for the third time in four years, is touted as immune to defenses, though Ukraine’s air defenses reportedly destroyed hundreds of drones and missiles with some strikes getting through. Western leaders condemned the attack as Kyiv reported widespread damage. Separately, a drone strike in Starobilsk raised the toll there to 21 as rescue operations continued.

Ukraine Claims January Strikes Hit Kapustin Yar Hangars Linked to Oreshnik Prep

Ukraine says its January long-range strikes damaged hangar facilities at Russia’s Kapustin Yar missile test site, hitting infrastructure used for pre-launch preparations and triggering evacuations; Kyiv says FP-5 Flamingo missiles and long-range drones from the Special Operations Forces led a prolonged operation through January 2026, with intelligence support from the Black Spark movement. Kapustin Yar remains a key testing ground for the Oreshnik system and has been cited in prior strikes tied to Oreshnik launches from the facility.

UN Security Council confronts Russia over nuclear-capable Oreshnik strike

At an emergency UN Security Council session, the US and Britain condemned Russia's firing of a nuclear-capable Oreshnik missile at Ukraine as a dangerous escalation; Moscow said the strike hit an aviation repair factory, while Kyiv has not confirmed the target. Observers say the two Oreshnik strikes have been largely political or symbolic, possibly using dummy warheads, and question the missile's accuracy for delivering non-nuclear bombs. The wider assault continued with casualties in Kyiv, Kharkiv and Odesa, including attacks on civilian sites and ships in the Black Sea. Separately, a US-linked investor group won rights to mine Ukraine's Dobra lithium deposit (TechMet and Rock Holdings), with Ronald Lauder reported among investors.

Russia’s Oreshnik seen as psychological weapon, not battlefield change-maker, expert says

An aviation expert argues that Russia’s Oreshnik missile used to strike Lviv Oblast was likely assembled from older Soviet components and functions as a political, psychological intimidation tool rather than a decisive military asset; Moscow reportedly informed the US ahead of the launch, signaling a message to Europe, while speed claims of 13,000 km/h are disputed. Ukraine lacks intercept capability, but the strike is not expected to alter the frontline balance.
