Ukraine launched US ATACMS missiles at a Russian military facility on Tuesday, marking a significant development on the war's 1,000th day. This follows new permission from President Biden for Ukraine to use these long-range missiles against targets in Russia. Russia reported intercepting five of the six missiles, with debris causing a fire at the targeted site in the Bryansk region. Ukraine claimed the strike hit an arms depot, resulting in secondary explosions. The use of ATACMS represents a new capability for Ukraine, but its range is shorter than some Russian missiles. In response, President Putin signed a new nuclear doctrine, signaling a potential escalation in tensions with the US.
