Russia Allegedly Uses ICBM in Dnipro Attack

Russia has reportedly launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) at the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, potentially marking the first use of such a weapon in the ongoing war. Ukrainian authorities speculate that the missile might have been an RS-26 Rubezh or RS-24 Yars, fired from Russia's Astrakhan region, though Russia has not confirmed these reports. The attack occurred amidst heightened tensions due to Western military support for Ukraine, following Ukraine's use of U.S.-made ATACMS and British Storm Shadow missiles against Russian targets. Russian President Putin has warned of potential strikes on foreign military facilities, while Ukrainian President Zelenskiy accused Russia of testing new missiles and violating human dignity. The attack targeted critical infrastructure, resulting in fires and injuries, although minimal damage was reported from the ICBM itself. The situation remains tense, with the threat of further attacks looming.
