TL;DR Summary

Ukraine is suspected of shooting down a Russian hypersonic missile, believed to be the Kh-47 Kinzhal, with a US-supplied Patriot system. The Kinzhal can carry conventional or nuclear warheads and has no match among Western defences. If confirmed, it would be the first time such a missile has been shot down. Russian war sites have disputed the Ukrainian claim. The missile was aimed at Kyiv after a drone strike on the Kremlin, which Russia has blamed on Ukraine and the US. British security officials believe the attack was a 'false flag' operation by Russia to distract Kyiv from its anticipated counter-offensive and rally up support back home.
