📌 Summary of the attack:
▪️ A total of 9 missiles were launched;
▪️ Ukrainian air defenses successfully destroyed 6 of them;
▪️ Breakdown of reported missiles:
0/1 – intercontinental ballistic missile;

This strike reflects Russia’s intent to escalate its aggression, potentially testing new weaponry under combat conditions. Reports suggest Russia might be trialing the RS-26 "Rubezh" ICBM, a cutting-edge missile allegedly designed to bypass advanced missile defense systems.
