Russian Missile Strike on Ukraine
Russia launched an experimental intermediate-range ballistic missile at Ukraine in response to the U.S. and U.K. approving Ukraine's use of Western-supplied long-range missiles. The missile attack was a new type of lethal capability and was not intercepted by air defense systems. The U.S. was notified briefly before the launch through nuclear channels. Putin claimed the missile attacked targets at a speed of Mach 10.
