Russia launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) targeting infrastructure in Dnipro, Ukraine, Kyiv's air force reported, marking the first use of such a powerful weapon in the 33-month war. The missile caused fires at an industrial site, injuring 2, according to officials. Additional strikes included hypersonic Kinzhal and cruise missiles, with six intercepted. This escalation follows Ukraine's use of Western missiles on Russian territory. Analysts question if the U.S. was forewarned about the ICBM launch. Moscow views Western weapon use as a major escalation. The U.S. embassy in Kyiv briefly closed over attack threats before reopening.
