21.11.2024The Day Earth's Longest Missiles Struck Cities
Early morning air raid alerts preceded Russia's first use of intercontinental-range missiles against Ukraine, striking Dnipro and damaging a rehabilitation center for disabled people. Throughout the morning, speculation about the missile type culminated in Putin's evening announcement that Russia had tested its new medium-range "Oreshnik" missile.

The strikes injured 31 in Kryvyi Rih and three in Dnipro. Reuters revealed Russia had warned the US before the launch, while the Pentagon confirmed the missile test. Commander-in-Chief Zaluzhnyi declared the involvement of North Korean troops and Iranian drones marked the beginning of World War III.

The attacks occurred on Ukraine's Day of Dignity and Freedom, following yesterday's confirmation of Storm Shadow strikes within Russian territory. The White House stated the missile demonstration would not affect weapon deliveries to Ukraine.
