Ukraine fires US-supplied long range missiles into Russia, defence ministry says

Ukraine has reportedly used US-supplied long-range missiles, specifically the Army Tactical Missile System (Atacms), to strike targets in Russia for the first time. This action follows a recent approval from Washington allowing Ukraine to conduct such attacks. The Russian defense ministry stated that the missiles were fired into the Bryansk region, with five missiles intercepted and one causing a fire at a military facility. Ukraine confirmed the strike targeted an ammunition warehouse, resulting in multiple secondary explosions. The Atacms missiles have a range of up to 300 kilometers, enabling Ukraine to hit deeper into Russian territory, including areas near Kursk. In response to these developments, Russia has warned of a "tangible response" to any attacks on its territory. Additionally, President Putin has approved changes to Russia's nuclear doctrine, indicating that an attack from a non-nuclear state, if supported by a nuclear power, would be treated as a joint assault on Russia. This escalation occurs as the conflict approaches its 1,000th day, with expectations of intensified military actions in the region.
