RUSSIA has launched a revenge blitz on Ukraine following its long-range missile attack – firing an intercontinental ballistic rocket for the first time.
It comes after Ukraine launched long-range US ATACMS missiles against Putin’s territory overnight on Monday.
Russia warned it would “react accordingly” as embassies in capital city Kyiv closed down on Wednesday for fear of a revenge blitz.
Reports later surfaced on Wednesday that Kyiv had also unleashed British long-range Storm Shadow missiles into Kursk.
Putin’s forces launched one of the powerful rockets from the southern Astrakhan region in a morning attack on Thursday.
Kyiv’s air force announced the revenge blitz, marking the first time Russia has used such a powerful, long-range missile since invading Ukraine in February 2022.
