Russia launches intercontinental ballistic missile at Ukraine for first time

Russia has launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) at Ukraine for the first time, targeting Dnipro city. This marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict, which has lasted over 1,000 days. The missile was fired from Russia's Astrakhan region, and reports indicate that two people were injured, with damage to an industrial facility and a rehabilitation center. Ukraine's air force confirmed it shot down six missiles but did not specify the type. This launch follows President Vladimir Putin's recent revision of Russia's nuclear doctrine, which lowers the threshold for using nuclear weapons. The Kremlin has not commented on the missile launch.
