Assuming it's nuclear, sit around and mourn the fact I don't have a basement. Hope that either A: missle defence works, or B: I'm in the evaporation zone. Radiation sickness sounds awful.
Even if the explosion and fallout completely missed my area, I think EMP disruption would be a huge issue and lots of people would be panicking, stealing, murdering trying to survive.
Would there be any reason to believe that a ballistic missile would be non-nuclear?
Yes, to scare the shit out of Ukrainians. Russia recently hit them with a conventional warhead on an ICBM.
Dummy warheads not even loaded with any explosive. They were actually trying to scare the west. Because they're idiots.
