The Kremlin is playing down reports of newly deployed missiles in Ukraine. Russian officials state that the reports are unfounded and based on unreliable intelligence. The missiles in question are said to be Iskander missiles, known for their accuracy and ability to carry nuclear warheads.
Reports emerged of the missiles being stationed in the Oreshnik region, located near the border with Ukraine. The presence of these missiles raised concerns about escalating tensions in the region and the potential for further conflict.
In response to the reports, Russian officials claimed that the images circulating online were old and not related to any recent deployment of missiles. They dismissed the reports as part of a disinformation campaign aimed at stirring up anti-Russian sentiment.
Despite the denials from Russian officials, the reports have sparked fears of a possible military escalation in the region. The situation remains tense as both Russia and Ukraine continue to monitor the developments closely.
