Ukraine has begun combat use of its first domestically produced ballistic missile, the FP-7, which has a range of roughly 250 kilometers, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Speaking in Kyiv, Zelenskiy said he had called the manufacturer, Fire Point, to press its leadership to finish work on a longer-range model, the FP-9, which the company has said could reach Moscow. He expressed confidence the weapon would be completed during the autumn. The remarks came alongside Zelenskiy's account of plans to hit Russian oil facilities in retaliation for Moscow's expanded strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure, while saying Ukraine would not deliberately target civilians, and as Washington seeks to restart talks to end the war.
