Moscow reported that Ukraine fired six U.S.-made longer-range missiles at Russia's Bryansk region, marking the first use of these weapons inside Russia during the ongoing conflict. This escalation coincides with Russia's lowered nuclear response threshold. Ukrainian officials claimed they targeted a military weapons depot in Bryansk, while Russia stated it intercepted five missiles and reported no casualties from falling debris. Both sides' claims remain unverified. In Ukraine, recent Russian strikes have resulted in multiple civilian casualties, including at least 12 deaths from a drone attack in the Sumy region. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticized Russia's continued aggression, asserting that peace talks are not a priority for Moscow.
