Ukraine says it hit Moscow with its largest strike yet, using new homemade missile

Fact-check index: 72/100 — The article accurately relays the Daily Mail's core claims about the FP-7 'Pelican' missile strike on Moscow and appropriately flags the 'largest yet' framing and analytical claims as unverified, though several descriptive details ('newly unveiled,' 'long-range') and the interception-difficulty claim go beyond what the brief source excerpt establishes.

• Ukraine carried out its largest missile strike yet on Moscow using the FP-7 'Pelican' missile — Matches Daily Mail headline: 'largest attack on Moscow yet' and 'Pelican refers to the FP-7 ground-launched ballistic missile.'
• Pelican missile developed inside Ukraine by Fire Point — Directly stated in source: 'developed in Ukraine by defence technology company Fire Point.'
• FP-7 is a ground-launched ballistic missile — Directly stated in source excerpt.
• Strike sharpened fears in European capitals that Putin is preparing to push war beyond Ukraine's borders — Matches headline: 'fears grow across Europe that Putin is preparing to attack.'
• Weapon is 'newly unveiled' and 'long-range' — Plausible given context of a new homemade missile reaching Moscow, but not explicitly stated in the limited source excerpt provided.
• Ballistic missiles are a class harder to intercept than drones Ukraine typically uses — General military claim not established by the source material; presented as supporting reasoning in the hypothesis, not sourced fact.
• 'Largest yet' framing is the Daily Mail's characterization and not independently verified — Accurate self-aware caveat; the source is indeed the sole outlet cited and the superlative is its own framing.
• No confirmed details on damage, casualties, or Russia's air-defence response — Correctly notes an absence of information not present in the source excerpt.
• Whether Kremlin will retaliate or Fire Point/Ukraine will confirm missile range and production scale — Forward-looking speculation with no source basis, appropriately framed as 'what to watch' rather than fact.
