600 Missiles in One Night: Did Putin Use Hypersonic Oreshnik to Burn American Plant in Ukraine? [Video]

600 Missiles in One Night: Did Putin Use Hypersonic Oreshnik to Burn American Plant in Ukraine?

Russia unleashed one of its biggest aerial assaults of the war, firing over 600 drones and missiles in a single night. A key target: a U.S.-owned Flex electronics plant in Mukachevo, western Ukraine, producing coffee machines and printer cartridges. At least 19 people were injured and the civilian factory suffered massive structural damage. Speculation erupted online that Russia had deployed its deadly Oreshnik hypersonic missiles, capable of flying at Mach 5+ and evading air defenses. Reports later clarified the facility was struck by cruise missiles — but the fear of escalation lingers. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack, calling it not only an assault on Ukraine but also on American interests. The strike comes just days after Donald Trump hosted Vladimir Putin in Alaska, attempting to broker a peace deal. Many see the bombing as Putin’s rejection of diplomacy — and a direct challenge to Washington. #RussiaUkraineWar #Putin #Zelensky #Trump #Oreshnik #Ukraine #WorldWar3 #Russia #MissileAttack #BreakingNews #Mukachevo #Geopolitics ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.152~GR.122~
