There's enough video out there to say it's highly likely some Multiple Re-entry Vehicles coming in from outside of the atmosphere hit Dnipro. The only weapons capable of that are ICBMs or IRBMs.
As i said, i'm not qualified to analyze footage and say what it is, but i wouldn't be surprised if the Russians used an intermediate range ballistic missile with some kind of MIRV warhead. I would be surprised if it was an ICBM because that's simply unnecessary. Either way, things are heating up. The Kiev Nazis and their fan club in the West keep insisting that it's ok to cross Russian red lines cause they won't do anything, and yet when Russia responds by matching escalation with escalation they cry foul and run to daddy USA. FAFO.
That's more of a technically than anything else. Yes, Russia has missiles classified as IRBMs that have a shorter range than ICBMs, but they still have very similar capabilities to ICBMs in terms of Multiple Re-entry Vehicles and being nuclear armed.
IRBM = Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile. A ballistic missile with a range between 3000-5500km. That's how it's been defined in all the missile treaties.
Rybar aren't always the most reliable. Anyway, i'm not remotely qualified to speak on these things so i'll leave it to the experts to judge, and in the meantime wait for some official confirmation before jumping to conclusions.
Yeah for sure, I was just making a joke about using your longest range missible to hit your closest target, I wasn't trying to give legitimacy to the article or anything.
Britain as welll. They're the closer target and they've been supplying weapons too. Wonder what the response will be if missiles start flying at military bases.
Imagine spending billions developing missiles capable of hitting targets anywhere on earth, to in the end use it against your neighbour.
Couldn't be me.
It would be a flex if they launched it from Kamchatka, over the Pacific, over USA, over Europe and into Ukraine.
It's not confirmed. Don't just immediately take at face value what a British imperialist propaganda rag claims.

These aren't Kinzhal or Iskander hits.
Maria Zakharova even had some staged phonecall during a press conference instructing her not to comment on the ballistic missile hits.
Putin clarified the weapon

From what we have seen so far it does appears highly likely that it was indeed a recently developed and not yet known, until today, IRBM.
Ah yes, the same impeccably reliable source that gave us the Ghost of Kiev.
And the NK soldiers.
Rybar seems to confirm it

CNN said it wasn't ICBM, quoting some "western official".

Inter Rontinental Ballistic Missile?

Probably to test/warn US
