Russia reports Ukraine launches ATACMS missiles at Bryansk region following US policy shift

Russia's Defense Ministry reported that Ukraine launched six U.S.-made ATACMS missiles at the Bryansk region. This follows President Biden's recent decision to ease restrictions on Ukraine's use of American weapons, allowing strikes deeper into Russian territory. Ukraine claimed it targeted a military weapons depot, while Russia stated it intercepted five missiles and damaged one. Debris from the interception caused a fire but no reported casualties. The claims from both sides remain unverified. In Ukraine, a recent Russian drone strike killed at least 12 people in the Sumy region, including a child. This attack is part of a series of strikes that have resulted in significant civilian casualties in recent days.
