ORESHNIK IN ACTION: Russia Strikes Back After Putin Residence Attack

Russia said its armed forces carried out a large‑scale precision strike using long‑range ground and sea‑based weapons, including the mobile medium‑range missile system Oreshnik, in response to what Moscow described as a terrorist attack on the residence of President Vladimir Putin in the Novgorod region. The defence ministry said the strike targeted facilities linked to drone production and energy infrastructure supporting Ukraine’s military industrial complex, adding that all objectives were achieved. The claims could not be independently verified. Raw impact footage circulating online shows a powerful nighttime strike, underscoring rising tensions as the conflict edges closer to NATO’s eastern flank.
