Russia escalates: Missile barrage hits Ukraine, 3 dead

The ballistic missile was likely launched from the Kapustin Yar training range in the Astrakhan region. It was directed toward the city of Dnipro. The estimated launch time was 10:12 PM Eastern Time. So far, the Ukrainian Air Force has not provided more information.

It is known, however, that the intercontinental ballistic missile was not shot down.

The statement from the Ukrainian army does not specify what type of intercontinental missile was used in the attack. At the moment, it is not possible to verify the truthfulness of the Ukrainian army's claims, reports Wirtualna Polska.

The announcement stated that the Russians also conducted an attack using a Kh-47M2 Kinzhal missile, along with seven Kh-101 missiles, six of which were shot down.

The missiles were initially directed toward Kyiv, then changed course to Poltava, and ultimately struck the Dnipropetrovsk region. Following this incident, emergency power outages were implemented in several regions, affecting the Kyiv, Odesa, Dnipropetrovsk, and Donetsk areas.

Additionally, it was reported that the target of the attack in Dnipro was an industrial enterprise, where two fires broke out.

At least three people were killed in Thursday's attack on Ukraine, and another 22 were injured.

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, this tragic period has been not only a time of brutal battles but also a relentless struggle by the Ukrainian nation for its freedom and sovereignty. The war has claimed thousands of lives, destroyed cities, and forced millions of people to leave their homes.

During these 1,000 days, Ukraine has become a symbol of courage and determination, gaining the support of the international community in its fight against Russian aggression.
