According to a single channel aligned with Russian state sources, what appeared to be a test launch of the Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile occurred. The same source reported shortly after that the threat had passed. No independent confirmation is yet available.
A single Russian-state aligned channel reported at 23:44 Jerusalem what it described as a test launch of the Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile, and subsequently stated the threat was over. This follows an earlier warning, reported by The Zioneer at 23:32, from Russian sources of an imminent Oreshnik launch. A separate unverified claim, circulating earlier at 23:38, suggested a missile may have been launched from the Kapustin Yar test range without the customary prior notice to the United States. There is no independent confirmation of the launch, its location, or whether it was the Oreshnik system. The channel's phrasing — 'looks like a test' — carries an element of uncertainty. The nature of the payload, target, and flight path remain unknown. The bulletin is based on a single source and should be treated as Developing.
