Ukraine has reportedly used a US-supplied long-range missile for the first time to strike a Russian weapons facility. The attack targeted a depot near Karachev in the Bryansk region, approximately 70 miles from Ukraine's border. Ukrainian sources claim the missile used was the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS). The strike resulted in a significant explosion, followed by multiple secondary detonations, according to the Ukrainian military.
