Ukraine strikes Russian territory with US ATACMS missiles for first time on war's 1,000th day
Ukraine has used US-supplied ATACMS missiles to strike Russian territory for the first time, marking a significant development on the war's 1,000th day. This follows a recent approval from US President Joe Biden for Ukraine to conduct such attacks. The missiles targeted a military facility in Russia's Bryansk region, causing a fire but no casualties, according to Russian officials. Ukraine claimed to have hit an arms depot, resulting in secondary explosions, confirming the use of ATACMS through government sources. As the conflict continues, Russia has responded by intercepting some missiles and ramping up its air defense. Meanwhile, Ukraine's UN ambassador condemned Russia's actions and called for the withdrawal of its forces from occupied territories.
