They claimed the footage captured the use of Russia\u2019s intermediate-range hypersonic Oreshnik system, although Moscow has not officially confirmed the launch.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"371\" data-end=\"597\">The latest footage resembles <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/russia\/630746-suspected-oreshnik-strikes-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">videos<\/a> that circulated in January, when Russia used the Oreshnik system in a strike on a Ukrainian aviation plant in Lviv that was repairing and servicing warplanes and producing long-range drones.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"599\" data-end=\"858\">The reported strike came after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Defense Ministry to <em>\u201csubmit proposals\u201d<\/em> for a response to a Ukrainian drone attack on a school dormitory in the Lugansk People\u2019s Republic, which left <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/russia\/640362-school-dorm-drone-strike\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">21 people, mostly children, dead and 42 injured<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"860\" data-end=\"1082\">The US Embassy in Kiev had earlier warned American citizens of a <em>\u201cpotentially significant air attack\u201d<\/em> that could occur within 24 hours, advising them to be prepared to take shelter immediately in the event of an air alert.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1084\" data-end=\"1425\">The dormitory, part of the Starobelsk college of Lugansk Pedagogical University, was hit by several waves of Ukrainian drones while students were sleeping inside on Friday, in what Moscow called a deliberate <em>\u201cterrorist act.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1427\" data-end=\"1601\">Governor Leonid Pasechnik declared May 24 and 25 days of mourning, calling the attack <em>\u201cpure evil\u201d<\/em> and saying those responsible must face <em>\u201cdeserved and inevitable punishment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1603\" data-end=\"1970\">Russia first publicly confirmed the use of Oreshnik in November 2024, when President Putin said the missile had been used in a strike on the Yuzhmash military-industrial facility in Dnepropetrovsk. The system is designed to deliver multiple warheads at hypersonic speed and has been described by Moscow as practically impossible for current air defenses to intercept.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"992\" data-end=\"1245\">\n<p><strong>DETAILS TO FOLLOW<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Multiple videos circulating on social media purport to show a Russian Oreshnik missile strike on&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":1022,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1021","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.arabnewsmonitor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1021","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.arabnewsmonitor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.arabnewsmonitor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.arabnewsmonitor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1021"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.arabnewsmonitor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1021\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.arabnewsmonitor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1022"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.arabnewsmonitor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1021"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.arabnewsmonitor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1021"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.arabnewsmonitor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1021"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
