**Ukraine Hit with First-Ever ICBM Attack**
Russia has allegedly used an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) against Ukraine, the first time such a weapon has been used in war. The attack occurred on November 21 in the city of Dnipro.
“We will do everything to ensure that Russia is remembered in history only for its crimes,” said Ukraine’s Center for Strategic Communications (Stratcom).
The missile was launched from Astrakhan Oblast, a Russian region over 740 kilometers away from Dnipro. It damaged an industrial enterprise, two houses, and nine garages, causing two fires.
**Investigation Underway**
President Volodymyr Zelensky said an investigation is ongoing into the attack. He noted that the missile’s speed and altitude suggest intercontinental ballistic capabilities.
“It’s clear that Putin is using Ukraine as a testing ground,” Zelensky said. “He is terrified of normal life next to him.”
