Russia has launched an intercontinental ballistic missile at Ukraine for the first time, Kyiv said on Thursday as Moscow warned that an American missile defence base in Poland was on its list of targets for “potential destruction”.
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.
‼️ The Ukrainian city of Dnipro became the first city in human history to be struck by an intercontinental ballistic missile. It is a historic turning point. An intercontinental ballistic missile used not on a firing range, but against a city of a million people. pic.twitter.com/TyXjY3TjFz
