Russia claims Ukraine launches US-made long-range missiles in Bryansk region

Russia claims Ukraine launched US-made long-range missiles, specifically ATACMS, targeting the Bryansk region. Russian air defenses intercepted five missiles, with one reported damaged. Moscow warns that using Western weapons against its territory could involve the US directly in the conflict. In response to escalating attacks, Russia has intensified its strikes on Ukraine, including a deadly drone attack in Glukhiv that killed 12 people. Ukrainian officials reported that Russia launched 87 drones overnight, with 51 intercepted. The situation is tense as Ukraine faces significant troop losses and increased Russian military presence. European foreign ministers are discussing ways to bolster support for Ukraine amid concerns over potential reductions in US assistance following the election of President-elect Donald Trump.
