Ukraine to analyze fragments of missile fired by Russia capable of carrying nuclear warheads
Fox News
Ukrainian investigators allowed journalists to view remains of an intermediate-range ballistic missile used by Russia on the battlefield, before an analysis could be completed.
Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed the attack on Thursday evening in an address to the nation and said it was in direct response to the U.S. and the U.K. jointly approving Ukraine’s use of Western-supplied long-range missiles to target Russia.

The Pentagon has said the missile is based on Russia’s RS-26 Rubezh intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), though the wreckage has not yet been analyzed, according to security officials on site in an undisclosed location in Ukraine.
