Russia launched a massive missile attack early on November 21 on Ukraine that caused damage in at least two regions, Ukraine's air force and regional leaders reported, as the whole country was under an air-raid alert for several hours.

That’s going to be even harder for Russia to restock, hopefully it’s a sign they’re running low on other missiles.

If I had to take my guess, it's probably more of a message to the west, because an ICBM can easily have a nuclear warhead instead of a standard warhead. Similar to how Iran launched all those drones at Israel in April, knowing that they would not get through, but that $2,000 drones would cost millions of dollars worth of missiles and aircraft to take out.
