Russia launches intercontinental ballistic missile at Ukraine

According to reports, Putin has stated that Moscow has the right to strike countries whose weapons are used by Ukraine to hit Russian territory. He warned that the conflict is taking on a "global character" and that Russia could use its new intermediate-range missiles against military facilities of any country that has allowed its weapons to be used against Russia.

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has escalated significantly with the reported use of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) by Russia. The Ukrainian air force claims that Russia launched an ICBM at the city of Dnipro, while Russia has not confirmed the use of such a missile. If true, it would be the first military use of an ICBM and a dramatic intensification in the missile war between the two nations.
