NATO and Ukraine will hold emergency talks Tuesday after Russia attacked the city of Dnipro with an experimental, hypersonic ballistic missile that escalated the nearly 33-month-old war.
Putin said the new missile, called "Oreshnik," Russian for "hazel," used a nonnuclear warhead and was in response to Ukraine firing longer-range missiles into Russia with NATO's help.
President Biden has now given Ukraine permission to use U.S. ballistic missiles inside Russia. While it was waiting, Ukraine built its own drones that can strike far across the border.
