Ukraine launches ATACMS missiles into Russia for first time following US approval

Ukraine has reportedly fired six U.S.-made ATACMS missiles into Russia's Bryansk region, marking the first use of these longer-range weapons inside Russian territory. This follows a recent U.S. decision allowing Ukraine to conduct deeper strikes. The ATACMS missiles have a striking distance of up to 190 miles, significantly greater than Ukraine's previous weapons. Their deployment aims to target Russian military assets and supply lines, potentially altering the dynamics of the ongoing conflict. Previously, the U.S. had restricted Ukraine's use of advanced weaponry to avoid escalating tensions with Russia. The Kremlin has condemned the U.S. decision, stating it exacerbates the conflict.
