Moscow today launched an intercontinental ballistic missile at Ukraine for the first time, Kyiv said, marking the latest escalation of the conflict since Ukraine fired Western-supplied long-range missiles on Russia.
【澳纽网编译】基辅表示，莫斯科今天首次向乌克兰发射了一枚洲际弹道导弹，这标志着自乌克兰向俄罗斯发射西方提供的远程导弹以来冲突的最新升级。

“In particular, an intercontinental ballistic missile was launched from the Astrakhan region of the Russian Federation,” the statement said.
“特别是，一枚洲际弹道导弹是从俄罗斯联邦的阿斯特拉罕地区发射的，”声明说。
A source in the Ukrainian air force confirmed to AFP that it was the first time since the Kremlin launched its invasion that its forces had deployed the weapon.
乌克兰空军的一位消息人士向法新社证实，这是自克里姆林宫发动入侵以来，其部队首次部署这种武器。
The source added it was “obvious” that the missile, which is designed to carry both conventional and nuclear warheads, did not carry a nuclear charge.
该消息人士补充说，这枚旨在携带常规弹头和核弹头的导弹“很明显”没有携带核装药。
Asked whether Moscow fired the missile, which can hit targets thousands of kilometres away, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he had “nothing to say on this topic.”
当被问及莫斯科是否发射了这枚可以击中数千公里外目标的导弹时，克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫（Dmitry Peskov）表示，他“在这个话题上没有什么可说的”。
Air defence units downed six missiles, the air force said, without elaborating on whether the intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) had been downed.
空军表示，防空部队击落了六枚导弹，但没有详细说明洲际弹道导弹 （ICBM） 是否被击落。

Russia and Ukraine have escalated their use of deadly long-range missiles over recent days since the United States gave permission to use its ATACMS against military targets inside Russia – a long-standing Ukrainian request.
自从美国允许使用其 ATACMS 打击俄罗斯境内的军事目标以来，俄罗斯和乌克兰最近几天升级了对致命远程导弹的使用——这是乌克兰长期以来的要求。
British media meanwhile reported on Wednesday that Kyiv had launched UK-supplied Storm Shadow missiles at targets in Russia after being given the green light from London.
与此同时，英国媒体周三报道称，基辅在获得伦敦的批准后，向俄罗斯的目标发射了英国提供的风暴阴影（ Storm Shadow） 导弹。
The defence ministry in Moscow said its air defence systems had downed two Storm Shadows, without saying whether they were downed on Russian territory or in occupied Ukraine.
莫斯科国防部表示，其防空系统已经击落了两枚风暴阴影（ Storm Shadow） 导弹，但没有说明它们是在俄罗斯领土上被击落还是在被占领的乌克兰被击落的。
