Russia has denied that and says it’s a 9M729 Oreshnik. Claimed top speed of Mach 10.

I saw that but the Oreshnik is a cruise missile and (of course) does not deliver MIRVs, which were clearly visible on two different videos.

The 9M729 "Iskander-M" missile, also referred to by NATO as the SSC-8 "Screwdriver", is a ground-launched cruise missile (GLCM) developed by Russia.
