The Pentagon is concerned about Russia’s launch of a new Oreshnik ballistic missile against a target in Ukraine, Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said in a briefing broadcast on C-SPAN.
“It’s certainly a concern for us… I don’t have an assessment of its implications at this point, but it’s certainly something we’re concerned about,” – she said.
The White House also previously commented on the launch, noting that the United States will continue to support Ukraine.
president of russia Vladimir Putin reported that the attack with the new Oreshnik missile in non-nuclear hypersonic equipment was carried out on November 21 on the Dnieper. The head of state said that “one of the largest and most famous industrial complexes since the time of the Soviet Union, which today produces missile technology and other weapons,” was attacked.
Putin said Russia used Oreshnik in response to attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces with long-range missiles in the Bryansk and Kursk regions on November 19 and 21. American ATACMS missiles were then used in Bryansk and British Storm Shadow missiles in combination with American HIMARS in the Kursk region. There, one of the command posts of the “North” group (which is repelling an attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the region) was attacked, “there are victims, dead and wounded,” said the president.
