Russia escalates military actions in Ukraine with nuclear-capable missile launch
Russia has escalated its military actions in Ukraine by firing a nuclear-capable missile after Ukraine launched long-range missiles supplied by the US and UK into Russian territory. This marks the first use of such a missile in the ongoing conflict. President Vladimir Putin has threatened to target military facilities in countries that support Ukraine, emphasizing Russia's readiness to respond to perceived threats. He confirmed the use of a new hypersonic missile, claiming it cannot be intercepted by current defense systems. The situation has led to heightened tensions, with several European countries warning their citizens to prepare for potential conflict. The US and Russia blame each other for the escalation, as both sides continue to increase military readiness.
