Ukraine reports Russian ICBM strike on Dnipro, Western official disputes claim
Ukraine's military reported that Russia launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) at Dnipro, but a Western official disputed this, stating it was a ballistic missile instead. Moscow has not confirmed the launch. This incident follows Ukraine's recent use of U.S.-made ATACMS missiles against targets in Russia, authorized by President Biden. Ukraine claims to have launched several missiles, with only the one identified as an ICBM hitting Dnipro. The Kremlin has not commented on the missile launch but announced that President Putin updated Russia's nuclear doctrine, potentially lowering the threshold for nuclear response. No casualties or significant damage have been reported from the attack.
