Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on October 1 that Ukrainian forces used the new FP-7 tactical ballistic missile for the first time to strike an unspecific target.

On October 1, Russian forces deliberately struck a bridge across the Dnipro River in Kyiv for the first time since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russian drones attacked the bridge three times that day.

Ukraine's domestically developed FP-7 ballistic missile has been used in combat against Russia for the first time, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Oct. 1.

"Ukrainian tactical ballistic missile. FP-7. First combat use. Thank you for the result. Next up: production. Glory to Ukraine!", Zelensky said, without providing any further details.

The deployment timeline for the FP-9 follows Ukraine’s first operational combat use of the FP-7 tactical ballistic missile on Thursday, Oct. 1.

Manufactured by Fire Point, the baseline FP-7 carries a 150-kilogram warhead across an operational reach of approximately 200 to 250 kilometers.

An attack on the Academy of Sciences in Kyiv, right in the city centre, just a few hundred metres from the German Embassy.

attacks such as the one that took place last Monday clearly demonstrate the senselessness of this war.
