Russia fires intercontinental missile at Dnipro in Ukraine war escalation
Ukraine reports that Russia launched an intercontinental ballistic missile at Dnipro city, marking the first use of such a missile in the ongoing war. The missile was fired from Russia's Astrakhan region, along with eight other missiles, of which six were intercepted. The attack resulted in two injuries and damage to an industrial facility and a rehabilitation center. This escalation follows President Putin's recent revision of Russia's nuclear doctrine, which lowers the threshold for nuclear weapon use. The conflict has gained international attention, with North Korean troops reportedly assisting Russia. This development has influenced U.S. policy on supplying longer-range missiles to Ukraine, amid rising tensions between Russia and NATO.
