Footage allegedly shows Russian ICBM attack on Ukraine

Russia has launched an intercontinental ballistic missile at Ukraine for the first time, Kyiv said on Thursday, a move that would mark a significant escalation in the almost three-year-old war.

The Ukrainian air force said that a Russian intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) had been used as part of an attack on critical infrastructure in Dnipro, a city in central Ukraine. It was not immediately clear what damage was caused and the claim has yet to be independently verified. Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, declined to comment.

If confirmed it would be the first time that an ICBM, a weapon designed for long-range strikes carrying nuclear or conventional warheads during the Cold War, has been fired in anger.
