Russia Escalates Conflict with Intercontinental Missile Strike on Ukraine

Russia launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) at Ukraine, marking a significant escalation in the conflict. The attack targeted the city of Dnipro, hitting critical infrastructure and enterprises, and included various missile types. This incident, if confirmed, would be the first use of an ICBM in the war. The strike triggered air alerts across Ukraine, and emergency power outages were implemented in several regions to stabilize the energy grid. The attack follows heightened tensions after Ukraine's use of US-supplied missiles against Russian targets.
