Editor’s note: The article was updated with the Air Force’s report about Russia using an intercontinental ballistic missile.
Russian forces launched a large-missile missile attack early on Nov. 21, reportedly lifting Tu-95 bombers and MiG-31K Kinzhal carriers and attacking the central-eastern city of Dnipro.
