US EditionRussia Fires Unlimited-Range Nuclear-Powered Cruise Missile
- On Sunday, Ukraine's Air Force reported Russia attacked Kyiv with 101 drones overnight, killing 3 and injuring 31, including six children.
- On Tuesday, October 21, Russia's chief of the general staff told Putin the Burevestnik flew 14,000 km and remained in the air about 15 hours; he said the "crucial testing" had concluded.
- Two US research institutions separately concluded satellite imagery showed Russia preparing to test a nuclear-armed cruise missile at the Pankovo test site on Yuzhny Island, Novaya Zemlya.
- The announcement arrived as the planned summit with U.S. President Donald Trump was put on hold, and the Kremlin framed the test as nuclear messaging warning NATO allies and resisting Western ceasefire pressure.
- Many Western analysts remain skeptical about the Burevestnik's reliability after the August 2019 test accident that killed five nuclear engineers and two service members, with observers warning of environmental risk concerns.
