Russia launches ICBM strike against Ukraine as war escalates

Russia launched an ICBM from the Astrakhan region, targeting Dnipro in Ukraine. This marks the first use of such a weapon in the ongoing conflict. The attack, which also involved Kh-101 cruise missiles, follows Ukraine’s use of Western-supplied long-range missiles against targets within Russia. Moscow had previously warned that such actions would be considered a major escalation.
