Russia launches ballistic missile at Dnipro as Ukraine strikes targets in Russia

Russia launched a ballistic missile toward Ukraine on Thursday, targeting the southeastern city of Dnipro, according to Ukrainian officials. This missile was not confirmed as an intercontinental ballistic missile. Earlier this week, Ukraine used U.S.-made ATACMS missiles against targets in Russia. This action followed U.S. President Joe Biden's approval for Ukraine to use these long-range weapons. In response to Ukraine's missile strikes, Russia claimed to have intercepted some ATACMS missiles. Additionally, President Vladimir Putin updated Russia's nuclear doctrine, potentially lowering the threshold for nuclear response.
