CHILLING footage shows what is thought to be the first ever use of an intercontinental ballistic missile in war - as part of Russia's revenge attack on Ukraine.
Video showed rockets raining down on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro - reportedly six different warheads from a nuclear-capable Russian R-26 Rubezh ICBM.
Reports say it was fired from the Kapustin Yar test range in Russia’s Astrakhan region and struck the Yuzhmash defence plant in Dnipro.
The outdated R-26 Rubezh had never - until now - been used in anger.
It was designed to carry a deadly nuclear payload but appears to have been used for a conventional rocket attack in the early hours of this morning.
If the use of the Rubezh is confirmed, some analysts have said it will be the first combat use of an ICBM in history.

Tell your mom to wash your Special Ukraine Sock, marcus.
Well, Ukraine upped their ante with deep strikes.
Russia just gave Ukraine a favor—and a warning.
Ukraine is so dumb, they will get themselves nuked. I’ll cheer.
That was a warning! Don’t you realize the certain peoples’ sphincter muscle got real small when their screens lit up with an ICBM launch!
It's like we're supposed to forget who struck first and started the war.
Warheads small or inert?

Damage to a Building within the Central Ukrainian City of Dnipro Following ICBM attack
This missile would have been noticed as it was just taking off. They US intel people would be watching an ICBM base 24/7 and they saw a nuclear capable missile head toward Europe.
The president would have been alerted, and the VP too.
Inert.
Yup. You got that right. For a split second when that thing took off until the computers determined the target they were going “holy shit!” “They actually did it!”
If the Russians would have sent that thing to western Ukraine there would have been people filling their pants.
Aww, Gee Whiz, those Russian ICBMs with Multiple Independent Reentry Vehicles (Warheads) do work as advertised.
Your Biden and your Zelensky Did Nazi ...
... that coming!
Being the GloboHomoPedoTranny morons they are.
Good thing you're not at the Front and are still pushing in the Rear.
Tell your Putin to stop playing with ICBMs.
President? The one who suits his pants in public and wanders around aimlessly?
That president?
Didin’t everybody expect this after Biden launched missiles deep in to Russian Territory?
“That was a warning!”
More like word to the wise. Do wonder if Russians gave a heads-up to any PTB that it was a conventional launch.
Its Russia saying “This could have been a nuke”.
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!
(((PING!)))
... to be added to the best Zeeper-provided entertainment since Paul Shanklin parodies, ping me bro.
The most important part from the article, from British intel:
“Defence intelligence will reveal today that the front line is now less stable than at any time since the early days of the full scale Russian invasion in 2022.
“We have seen in recent weeks a very clear escalation from Putin and his forces.
And the first atomic weapons exploded over cities? History is such a fine thing....
