**KYIV/MOSCOW** – Russia has announced the combat deployment of a new intermediate-range missile during a recent strike on Ukraine. President Vladimir Putin confirmed the test, claiming the missile was used operationally against Ukrainian targets. This follows a series of Ukrainian attacks employing British Storm Shadow and US ATACMS missiles.
Ukrainian officials previously reported the missile possessed characteristics consistent with an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), although this assessment has not been independently verified. Russia has yet to release specific details about the new weapon system. The announcement raises concerns about an escalation in the ongoing conflict and the potential implications for global security given the differing assessments of the missile’s capabilities. International observers are closely analyzing the situation and the implications of this reported deployment.
