Russia fired intercontinental ballistic missiles at Ukraine, Air Force says

Russian troops fired various missiles, reportedly including an intercontinental ballistic missile from the Astrakhan region, in an early morning attack on Ukraine on Thursday.

Ukraine’s Air Force said on its Telegram account that it destroyed six Kh-101 cruise missiles using anti-aircraft combat.

According to the air force, the Russian attack hit critical infrastructure in the central-eastern city of Dnipro.
