Doubts Arise Over Ukraine’s Claims of Russian Intercontinental Missile Use in Dnipro Attack
Concerns are growing regarding Ukraine’s assertion that Russia employed an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in an attack on Dnipro. U.S. government sources and experts question this claim, suggesting the missile used had a shorter range. Explosions were reported in Dnipro, injuring two individuals and damaging various facilities. Analysis indicates that the missile may have been a shorter-range ballistic missile rather than an ICBM, which would require prior notification from Russia to the U.S. due to the potential nuclear implications of such a launch.
