Ukrainian officials reported a missile strike on Dnipro, claiming it was an intercontinental ballistic missile, while Western officials disputed that characterization, suggesting it was intermediate-range.
President Zelensky stated that the missile's speed and altitude matched intercontinental ballistic missile parameters, indicating an escalation in the types of attacks being launched at Ukraine.
A senior U.S. official acknowledged that the missile appeared to be a new type of intermediate-range ballistic missile, reflecting an ongoing evolution in weaponry being utilized.
In recent days, Ukraine has employed longer-range U.S. and British missiles in counterattacks, prompting Russia to lower its nuclear engagement threshold as hostilities escalate.
