express.co.uk

Ukraine has launched a significant attack using US ATACMS missiles, marking the first time these weapons have been deployed against Russian territory. This strike occurred shortly after President Vladimir Putin issued a warning about potential nuclear responses to such actions. Putin's recent decree allows for the use of nuclear weapons if Russia faces aggression from a conventional force supported by a nuclear-armed nation, like the US. The attack targeted a Russian ammunition depot in the Bryansk region. Ukrainian sources confirmed the strike, stating it successfully hit the intended target. However, the Ukrainian military has not officially verified these reports.
