Russia's ICBM Launch on Ukraine Sparks Escalation Concerns
TL;DR Summary
Russia has reportedly fired an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) at the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, marking a potential escalation in the conflict. This follows Ukraine's use of U.S.-made ATACMS missiles and British-made Storm Shadow missiles against Russian targets. The Kremlin has not confirmed the ICBM use, but if true, it would be the first such deployment in the Ukraine war. The incident coincides with a shift in Western policy allowing Ukraine to use these advanced weapons, amid concerns over North Korean troop deployments to Russia's Kursk region.
