Ukraine launches US-made missiles into Russia for first time in conflict

Ukraine has reportedly fired six U.S.-made longer-range missiles into Russia's Bryansk region, marking the first use of these weapons inside Russia during the ongoing conflict. This development comes amid heightened tensions and military activity on both sides. Moscow claims to have intercepted five of the missiles, with debris causing a fire at a military facility but no reported casualties. Ukraine has also targeted a military weapons depot in Bryansk, although details on the specific weapons used remain unclear. In recent days, Russia has intensified its strikes on Ukrainian residential areas, resulting in multiple casualties. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized the need for a strong military response to Russia's actions, while outlining plans to increase domestic production of long-range drones and missiles.
