Putin announces Russian forces receive 1st batch of ‘Oryxnik' terrifying missiles
Moscow – Gaza: Russian President Vladimir Putin announced Friday that Russia has begun producing the 'Oryxnik' missiles, which have a destructive power comparable to nuclear weapons, and has delivered the first batch to the Russian military. Speaking at a meeting with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, Putin said, 'We have produced the first system and delivered it to the forces, and industrial production of these missiles has now started,' according to Sputnik news agency. During the informal meeting on Valaam Island in Karelia, the two presidents discussed plans to deploy the 'Oryxnik' missiles in Belarus. Putin indicated that deployment is expected to be completed by the end of this year. Military experts from both countries have identified sites for positioning these latest additions to Russia's missile arsenal. Earlier, Putin stated that if used in a large-scale strike, the power of the 'Oryxnik' missiles would be equivalent to nuclear weapons. However, he emphasized that the 'Oryxnik' is not a weapon of mass destruction due to its high precision and currently being equipped only with conventional warheads. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

The Al-Awda Hospital in central Gaza reported that the death toll there rose from 7 to 12, with 60 others injured, after Israeli forces attacked a crowd of starving civilians near an aid distribution point on Salah al-Din Street. In northern Gaza City, three people were killed and others injured in an airstrike targeting the Salfiti family apartment, which sparked a large fire. In Jabalia, at least one woman was killed and dozens injured, including children, in another airstrike on a residential home. At Al-Shifa Medical Complex, the body of another victim and several wounded people arrived after Israeli forces bombed Al-Karama neighborhood in northwest Gaza. In Deir al-Balah (central Gaza), five Palestinians were killed in a drone strike on a tent sheltering displaced people in the Al-Bassa area. In Khan Younis (south Gaza), a drone attack on a tent in the Al-Mawasi zone killed three Palestinians, including two children, and injured over 15 others. Another civilian was shot dead by a drone in Qizan an-Najjar, also in southern Khan Younis. Elsewhere in Al-Mawasi's Bir 19 area, two more children were killed when a tent housing displaced families was shelled. Backed by U.S. and European support, Israel's military campaign in Gaza, ongoing since October 7, 2023, has resulted in the deaths of 60,249 Palestinians, most of them women and children, and injured 147,089 others, according to Thursday's figures.
