Ukraine's Air Force warns of high probability of Russian ballistic missile launch within 24 hours
Ukraine's Air Force has warned of a high probability that Russia could launch a ballistic missile from the Kapustin Yar test range within the next 24 hours, possibly the Oreshnik missile.
Ukraine's Air Force has issued a warning about an increased risk that the Russian Federation could launch a ballistic missile from the Kapustin Yar military test range within the next 24 hours. This range has previously been used for testing the Oreshnik missile.
The statement indicates that the probability of such a launch is high, but no further details about a possible target or missile type have been disclosed. It is worth noting that the Oreshnik is a new-generation Russian ballistic missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads, although there is no confirmation that such a warhead would be used.
The Ukrainian side regularly monitors Russian military activities and warns of potential threats. This warning comes amid the ongoing war in Ukraine, where both sides actively use various types of weapons. Russia often conducts missile tests from this range, and Ukrainian officials view them as provocations or preparations for real strikes.
