Russia said on Friday that it had used the Oreshnik missile amid a barrage of overnight strikes on Kyiv and Lviv in western Ukraine. Kyiv labelled the use of the weapon close to the European Union and NATO border a grave threat to European security. Russia's Ministry of Defence said the military has used the new intermediate-range ballistic missile among hundreds of other weapons in strikes that, according to Ukraine, killed four people and injured at least 22 in the capital.

The Iranian missile attacks on Israel, following a US-Israel strike on Iranian nuclear sites, highlight the escalating conflict and the high human cost on both sides.
