Russia has launched an Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) at Ukraine for the first time, according to Kyiv. This missile was fired a day after President Vladimir Putin updated Russia's nuclear policy. The ICBM was equipped with a conventional warhead, signaling a warning to Ukraine and its Western allies. This action follows recent approvals from the U.S. and U.K. for Ukraine to use long-range missiles against Russian targets. The missile launch occurred shortly after Ukraine targeted Russian territories with U.S.-made ATACMS and U.K.-made Storm Shadow missiles.
