Russia Launches ICBM Attack on Dnipro

Russia has reportedly launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) against the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict. The missile reportedly struck the Yuzhmash defense plant, destroying facilities used for repairing military equipment. While Ukrainian authorities confirmed the missile's use, Western sources remain skeptical, asserting it may not be an ICBM but rather a new ballistic missile type. French officials indicated that if the missile is confirmed as an ICBM, it would warrant a serious response. The attack follows Ukraine's use of advanced U.S. missiles against Russian targets, suggesting a tit-for-tat escalation. As tensions rise, the international community is closely monitoring the situation, with some countries already closing their embassies in Kyiv due to increased threats of Russian aggression.
