Putin says strike was response to Kyiv’s use of US, UK-made weapons

    More now from Russian President Vladimir Putin, who’s been addressing this morning’s strikes carried out on the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro:

    “In response to the use of American and British long-range weaponry on 21 November this year, the Russian armed forces carried out a combined strike on one of Ukraine’s military-industrial complex sites. In combat conditions, a test was carried out of one of the latest Russian intermediate-range missile systems. In this case, with a non-nuclear hypersonic version of a ballistic missile,” Putin says, before adding that the “test was successful. The target was reached”.

    “One of the largest industrial complexes known since the Soviet era has been hit on Ukraine’s territory, in the city of Dnipropetrovsk. It is still manufacturing missiles and other armaments,” he adds.
