Ukraine tested first domestic ballistic missile, Zelensky says

Ukraine has successfully tested its first domestically-produced ballistic missile, Volodymyr Zelensky said on Tuesday.

The Ukrainian president made the announcement to reporters at the Ukraine 2024 Independence forum in Kyiv.

“It may be too early to talk about it but I want to share it with you,” he said.

Mr Zelensky’s comments came one day after Rustem Umerov, Ukraine’s defence minister, said Kyiv had plans to produce its own weapons to respond to Russian drone and missile attacks.

Kyiv has so far had to rely on long-range missiles from Western countries, including US-made Atacms and British Storm Shadow missiles.
