Ukraine launches US-made long-range missiles into Russia for first time

Ukraine has launched US-made long-range ATACMS missiles into Russia for the first time, targeting a facility in Bryansk. This attack occurred shortly after the Biden administration authorized Ukraine to use these weapons against deeper Russian targets. The Russian Defense Ministry reported that Ukraine fired six missiles, with five intercepted by air defenses. Fragments from a damaged missile caused a fire at a military site, but no casualties were reported. In response, Russian President Vladimir Putin updated the country's nuclear policy, stating that any aggression from a non-nuclear state, especially if supported by a nuclear power, would be treated as a coordinated attack.
