Western officials have clarified that Russia did not use an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in its recent attack on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, contradicting Ukraine's official account. Instead, US officials reported to Reuters and AFP that Russia fired an intermediate-range ballistic missile, designed to travel distances between 3,000 and 5,500 kilometers. The missile used was described as 'experimental' and not a 'game changer' by a US official, indicating that the attack was less significant than initially reported.
