Ukraine reports Russian missile strike in Dnipro amid escalating tensions
Ukraine reported that Russia launched a new type of missile at Dnipro, which may be a nuclear-capable weapon. While Ukraine claims it was an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), U.S. officials suggest it was an intermediate-range ballistic missile. Russian President Vladimir Putin stated the missile targeted a military facility in response to Ukrainian strikes using Western weapons. The attack has raised tensions, as Ukraine recently targeted locations inside Russia with U.S. and British missiles. The missile strike on Dnipro caused damage to an industrial site and injured two people. Experts noted that if confirmed as an ICBM, this would mark the first military use of such a missile in conflict.
