Desk. Russia launched a major attack on Ukraine on Thursday, in which it fired an intercontinental ballistic missile from its southern Astrakhan region. This is the first time that Russia has used such a powerful and long-range missile. Ukrainian Air Force gave this information.
The intercontinental ballistic missile attack by Moscow came at a time when Ukraine this week targeted some targets inside Russia using ballistic missiles from the US and Britain, about which Moscow warned months ago that it could escalate tensions too much.
Russia targeted enterprises and critical infrastructure in the Middle-Eastern region of the city of Dnipro. However, the statement did not clarify who was targeted by the intercontinental ballistic missile and what damage it caused. Intercontinental ballistic missiles have a range of thousands of kilometers and can be used to deliver nuclear warheads.
However, they can also be used for conventional warheads. Ukrainian air defense systems destroyed 6 KH-101 cruise missiles during the attack. The Ukrainian Air Force said an intercontinental ballistic missile was fired from Russia’s Astrakhan region. It gave information about the weapons used in the attack. But it did not say what type of intercontinental ballistic missile was used. The war between the two countries has been going on for more than 33 months.
