Russia’s Defense Ministry said it used a new Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile Friday in a deadly strike on Ukraine.
Four people were killed and at least 22 were injured, according to Ukrainian authorities.
Russia said the attack was retaliation for what Moscow claimed was a Ukrainian drone strike on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s residence last month. Both Ukraine and President Donald Trump have disputed that claim.
The attack occurred hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy alerted the nation that Russia intended to launch a large-scale offensive.

Zelenskyy said that Russia was aiming to take advantage of the frigid weather in the capital, which made roads and streets icy.
The missile traveled at a speed of more than 8,000 miles per hour, according to the Western Command of Ukraine’s Air Force.
Several districts in Kyiv were hit in the attack and an emergency medical aid worker was among those killed, according to Kyiv City Military Administration head Tymur Tkachenko.
