Russia and Ukraine trade missile and drone strikes | BBC News

Russia and Ukraine have traded air strikes, after a week of intensifying rhetoric in which Russia tested a new missile on Ukraine. Russia has made close to 1,500 strikes on Ukraine since Sunday evening on about half of the country's regions causing dozens of injuries, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said. Meanwhile Ukraine's military said it had struck a key oil depot south of Moscow, and targets in the Bryansk and Kursk border regions. Russia's use of the Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro capped a week of escalation in the war that also saw Ukraine fire US and British missiles into Russia for the first time.
