Ukraine's parliament canceled a session on Friday due to heightened security concerns after Russia launched a new ballistic missile. This decision follows the ongoing threat of missile attacks amid the nearly three-year conflict. The missile, described by Russian President Vladimir Putin, struck a factory in Dnipro. He claimed it is an advanced weapon that travels at ten times the speed of sound. The Pentagon confirmed the missile is an experimental type based on Russia's RS-26 Rubezh intercontinental ballistic missile. This development marks a significant escalation in the conflict.
