Russia "Downs" Ukraine's Storm Shadows, Putin's 'New Tactics' Rattle US, Zelensky 'Shuns' Crimea

Russia has fired an intercontinental ballistic missile for the first time, Kyiv has claimed as two British-made Storm Shadow missiles are shot down in Russian airspace.

Russia had threatened to strike Kyiv with a “massive” new missile in retaliation for Ukraine using Western weapons.

The Russian military could be readying to launch RS-26 Rubezh missile, an intermediate ground-based missile which has not been deployed in the Ukraine war before from a site in the city of Astrakhan by the Caspian Sea, reported a Moscow-based newspaper Moskovky Komsomolets.

This comes as Russian air defences shot down two British Storm Shadow cruise missiles, Russia’s defence ministry said as momentum builds in the West’s military support for Kyiv’s war effort.
