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 intercepted missiles caused a fire but no reported casualties. In Ukraine, Russian strikes have intensified, with recent attacks killing at least 12 people in residential areas. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy criticized Russia's actions, asserting they demonstrate a lack of interest in peace talks.
