  In a bold shift from previous diplomatic efforts, top U.S. and Russian officials have agreed to advance negotiations aimed at ending the war in Ukraine—even as Ukrainian representatives remain notably absent.

Ukraine Claims Russian ICBM Strike on Dnipro

 

In a significant escalation of the ongoing conflict, Ukrainian military officials have claimed that Russia launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) targeting the city of Dnipro. This marks the first reported use of such a missile in the war that began in February 2022.

According to Ukraine’s air force, the missile was launched from Russia’s Astrakhan region, which borders the Caspian Sea.

The claim has not been independently verified, and a U.S. official suggested that the missile used was not an ICBM but a different type of ballistic missile

The strike comes amid heightened tensions following Ukraine’s recent use of U.S.-made ATACMS missiles against targets within Russia. The Kremlin has responded by updating its nuclear doctrine, lowering the threshold for a potential nuclear response.

The situation remains fluid, with international observers closely monitoring the developments for further escalation.
