**Russia Fires Intercontinental Missile for the First Time: A Symbolic Step with Far-reaching Consequences**

In an unprecedented escalation of the conflict, Russia reportedly fired an intercontinental missile for the first time - and it did not go unnoticed. The launch took place in the southern Astrakhan region near the Caspian Sea. This action was seen as a response to Ukraine's air strikes using American and British missiles on Russia.

The intercontinental missile, likely the Russian RS-26 Rubezh model, is notable for its speed and ability to quickly change its flight path. With a warhead of approximately 1200 kg, it could not be shot down by conventional air defense systems. Typically designed for targets thousands of kilometers away, its use against relatively close targets in the central-eastern region was an unusual move.

Despite its questionable military utility, this action demonstrates Russia's determination to underline its threat to potentially use nuclear weapons against Ukraine and its allies. The Kremlin is sending a symbolic message that further fuels the already volatile situation.

With such an unprecedented move, it is clear that the conflict between the two countries is escalating, and the world is watching closely for further developments. It remains to be seen what impacts this increasingly volatile situation will have on global security. Stay tuned for more updates on krone.tv NEWS
