The West has not confirmed the use of an intercontinental ballistic missile by the Russian army  against Ukraine, a Western official told ABC News . According to him, it does not appear to be an ICBM, reports UNN

According to a Western official, it was Russia that launched the ballistic missile, which was aimed at Dnipro. 

Moscow did not immediately confirm the claim, and Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declined to comment, saying that questions on the matter should be addressed to the Russian Defense Ministry.

On Thursday morning , Ukraine's Air Force said it had tracked the launch of an ICBM, as well as six other missiles that were aimed at the Dnipro River. According to the military, the ICBM was apparently launched from the Astrakhan region in southwestern Russia.

All of them targeted businesses and critical infrastructure, but only the missile that Ukraine identified as an ICBM hit the city. The other six were shot down.

Addendum 

The day before, information was circulating about the threat of the enemy's use of the Rubizh intermediate-range ballistic missile. Experts of the military portal Defense Express believe that today Russia demonstrated the possibility of a nuclear strike

 Recall

This week, according to media reports, the Ukrainian military fired U.S.-made ATACMS missiles at targets in Russia for the first time, days after U.S. President Joe Biden authorized the use of these long-range weapons.

Hours after Russia announced on Tuesday that it had shot down five ATACMS SAMs, the Kremlin announced that Vladimir Putin had updated the country's nuclear doctrine, lowering the bar for a Russian nuclear retaliation.
