Russia has launched an Oreshnik missile attack on several regions of Ukraine, including the city of Lviv, in January 2026, specifically on Saturday, January 10, 2026. The attack resulted in four Ukrainian citizens being killed, while several others were injured.
Several experts have stated that the Oreshnik missile attack cannot be intercepted by the air defense systems currently possessed by Ukraine, raising concerns that it could be a missile capable of carrying weapons of mass destruction, such as nuclear warheads, even though the use of nuclear weapons has been prohibited worldwide since the end of the Cold War era.
According to CNBC Indonesia, a senior Ukrainian official said that the missile struck a workshop belonging to a state-owned company in the city of Lviv, western Ukraine, near the Polish border. The impact of several submunitions caused “minor penetration of concrete structures” at the workshop and created craters in the surrounding forested area.
Separately, Ukraine’s state security service, the SBU, stated that Russia was also attempting to destroy civilian infrastructure in nearby areas, amid weather conditions that were “rapidly deteriorating.”
