Ukraine's military announced it struck a Russian radar station using ATACMS missiles. This action aims to limit Russia's ability to detect and intercept aerial threats. The specific timing and location of the strike were not disclosed. The radar station, known as 'Nebo-M', is one of ten operational systems remaining for Russia. The U.S. provided ATACMS missiles to Ukraine earlier this year, with a commitment to use them only within Ukrainian territory. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has sought permission from allies to use long-range missiles against targets in Russia. However, the U.S. has not indicated any change in its stance regarding the use of these weapons.
