An unnamed government source said that Ukraine had received preliminary information from the United States about the possible launch of the Oreshnik missile. The agency notes that official Washington has not published any official statements on this.

At the time of publication of the news, neither the Ukrainian Defense Forces nor the Ukrainian political leadership had confirmed or denied this information.

"Within 24 hours, there is a high probability that the enemy will use a medium-range ballistic missile from the Kapustin Yar test site. Do not ignore air alert signals!" the message says.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on June 4, russian dictator vladimir putin confirmed that on the night of May 23-24, the russian army launched two Oreshnik missiles at Ukraine.

The second Oreshnik "fired back" for an unknown reason, probably over the occupied part of the Donetsk Region. The moment the submunitions fell was recorded by a surveillance camera installed in Donetsk.
