MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russia successfully used the Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile for the first time in combat conditions, the goal of the launch at a Ukrainian defence industry facility in Dnepropetrovsk, has been successfully achieved, the Russian Defence Ministry said on Friday.

"On November 21, 2024, in response to the use of US and UK long-range weapons against targets on the territory of Russia, the armed forces launched a combined strike against one of the facilities of the Ukrainian defence industry complex in Dnepropetrovsk. For the first time in combat conditions, the Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile in non-nuclear hypersonic equipment was successfully used in the strike. The launch objective was achieved. All warheads reached the target," the ministry said in a statement.

Over the past week, Russia has downed five US-made ATACMS missiles, as well as two UK-made Storm Shadow cruise missiles, the statement read.
