Probably but not necessarily. The first use of nukes may have been ICBM-launched or medium range missile launched, although I would tend to agree that it is a typo as you would expect the first use of nukes to have been "battlefield nukes" or bomber-deployed. But who knows? Perhaps the first use of nukes was the Soviets launching MIRVs from ICBMs on massed PLA ground forces?
