Ruthless Putin blasts Kyiv with nuclear-capable ballistic missiles as Nato scrambles warplanes

0 May 24, 2026 08:01

Vladimir Putin last night launched an enormous nuclear-capable missile in a savage strike on Ukraine, as Nato scrambled warplanes to defend against the dictator.

Volodymyr Zelensky accused ageing tyrant Putin of "madness" after the strikes pummelled the Kyiv and surrounding areas, killing four and injuring dozens.

The Oreshnik is a ballistic missile with a huge range of several thousand kilometres that can carry nukes – it did not have a nuclear warhead attached when it was launched towards the Ukrainian capital yesterday.

But the huge missile did unleash a fast-moving flurry of warheads on Bila Tserkva, a town 56 miles south of the Ukrainian capital.

Apocalyptic scenes were pictured on the streets of Kyiv as attacks killed at least four people and injured around 64.
