The Ukrainian government is warning that Ukraine has been struck by a Russian intercontinental ballistic missile, but observers in the United States are not convinced. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a Thursday video address that “a new Russian missile” with properties similar to an ICBM was fired into the country.

Ukrainian officials are claiming Russian forces struck the eastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Nov. 21 with an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).

Ukraine said Russia fired a new kind of missile at the city of Dnipro on Thursday, and while there was debate over what kind, it appeared to be a nuclear-capable weapon that carried multiple warheads,

The Ukrainian Air Force claims that Russia launched a conventionally armed intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) today at the city of Dnipro, in the center of the country.

Ukraine claimed Russia used an ICBM in a recent attack, but Moscow said it was an IRBM, the "Oreshnik," targeting Dnipro.
