Russia's War on Ukraine Escalates with Nuclear-Capable Strike
In a shocking and ominous turn of events, Russia launched a massive barrage of drones and missiles against Ukraine overnight, marking one of the most severe escalations of its war in the country. According to official reports from the Ukrainian Air Force, the attack, which occurred on January 9, consisted of 242 drones and 36 missiles, with at least one of them being nuclear-capable.
The strike was carried out with apparent impunity, as Ukraine reported that the attack was largely unopposed by its air defenses. The use of a nuclear-capable missile, however, raises concerns about Russia's intentions and the potential for even greater violence in the conflict.
Details of the attack are still emerging, but it is clear that Russia has taken a significant step up the escalation ladder, with major implications for regional stability and international relations.
