• The missile attack on Dnipro included a shorter-range Kinzhal ballistic missile and seven cruise missiles, as well as a new intermediate-range ballistic missile launched from Russia's Astrakhan region on the Caspian Sea.
• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky suggested that the missile was an intercontinental ballistic missile, and that Putin was using Ukraine as a training ground.

Western policy change in response to Russian aggression

• The change in Western policy to allow Ukraine to use U.S. and British weapons to strike inside Russia is a response to Moscow's deployment of North Korean troops to its Kursk region.
• The policy change is intended to deter Pyongyang from sending additional forces and to signal to Russia that aggressive actions will not be tolerated.
• The British Prime Minister emphasized the need to provide Ukraine with necessary support for as long as necessary.
