Ukraine escalates conflict with US-made missiles targeting Russia's Bryansk region

Ukraine has launched US-made ATACMS missiles into Russia's Bryansk region, marking a significant escalation in the conflict. Russian officials have stated they will respond "accordingly," viewing this as a signal of Western intentions to escalate the war. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov indicated that the use of these missiles implies US involvement, which could lead to a nuclear response under Russia's revised nuclear doctrine. This doctrine considers attacks on Russia or its allies as joint US-Ukraine actions. The Ukrainian military reported hitting a weapons depot in Bryansk, while Russia claimed to have intercepted five of the six missiles fired. The situation remains tense, with both sides on alert for further developments.
