Russia uses intercontinental ballistic missile in attack on Ukraine
Russia has launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) during an attack on Ukraine, marking the first known use of such a weapon in the ongoing conflict. The missile targeted infrastructure in Dnipro, causing damage and injuries. This escalation follows Ukraine's recent strikes on Russian territory using U.S. and British missiles. The situation has heightened tensions, with both sides exchanging fire and Ukraine asserting its need to defend against Russian attacks. The U.S. embassy in Kyiv temporarily closed due to concerns over potential air attacks but reopened shortly after. The conflict, now over 33 months old, continues to evolve with both sides seeking strategic advantages.
