Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the successful test of Ukraine's first domestically produced ballistic missile. This milestone follows recent large-scale Russian bombings across Ukraine that resulted in casualties and damaged energy infrastructure. Zelensky's announcement, made during a press conference in Kyiv, highlights Ukraine's efforts to bolster its arms industry and reduce reliance on Western military aid. The country has also introduced its own long-range "rocket drone" and signed agreements with Western firms for small arms and ammunition production.
