Moscow has launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) at Ukraine in retaliation over its use of UK and US rockets in Russian territory, according to Kyiv's air force.

The missile, which has never been used in combat before, was fired from a base in Astrakhan early this morning. It targeted critical infrastructure in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, Kyiv’s air force said. An industrial enterprise was damaged in the attack as well as it causing two fires.

However, a Western official has claimed the weapon used was a ballistic missile not an ICBM. It comes after Ukraine used US and UK long-range missiles in Russian territory. Residents in the village of Marino, close to the city of Kursk, claimed to have found fragments of the UK-supplied Storm Shadow missile on Wednesday.

A day earlier, Russia's defence ministry said Ukraine had hit the country with ATACMS missiles supplied by the US. Five missiles were shot down and one damaged, with fragments causing a sizeable fire at a military facility in the region, it said in a statement.

Russia has since threatened to strike US air bases in Poland with "advanced weapons" as tensions continue to grow. The new ballistic missile defence base in Redzikowo has been listed to a list of possible targets due to it increasing "the overall level of nuclear danger". It opened on November 13 as part of a larger Nato missile shield.

"This is another frankly provocative step in a series of deeply destabilising actions by the Americans and their allies," Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said. She continued: "The missile defence base in Poland has been added to the list of priority targets for potential destruction which, if necessary, can be executed with a wide range of advanced weapons."

    At least 22 people were reportedly killed in a strike in the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood of Gaza City

    Paramedics and Hamas-affiliated media said at least 66 were killed, including women and children, when several houses sheltering displaced people were hit near Kamal Adwan hospital in the town of Beit Lahia. One unverified video showed more than 20 bodies lined up in a street.

    Another 22 people were killed in a strike on a house in the northern Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood of Gaza City, according to the Hamas-run Civil Defence agency.

    There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military. It has recently intensified its offensive in northern Gaza, saying it is stopping Hamas from regrouping.

    Deadly Israeli strikes were also reported elsewhere in Gaza on Thursday morning. A hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis said it had received the bodies of 24 people killed in Israeli military action there and in nearby Rafah.
