Ukraine tests secret near-space rocket launches

Ukraine's Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) has revealed it secretly conducted two rocket launches to near-space and space during the ongoing war. One launch crossed above 100 km into space, while the other reached an altitude of 204 km. The GUR framed the launches as a demonstration of capability, suggesting they could be used to target Russian satellites in a potential space war. The tests highlight Ukraine's development of asymmetric, long-range strike options beyond the terrestrial battlefield.
