Ukraine uses US ATACMS missiles against Russia for first time on war's 1,000th day

Ukraine launched US ATACMS missiles into Russian territory for the first time on November 19, marking the 1,000th day of the war. This action followed US President Joe Biden's recent approval for Ukraine to use these long-range missiles. Russia reported intercepting five of the six missiles aimed at a military site in the Bryansk region, with one missile causing a minor fire. Ukraine claimed the strike targeted an arms depot, resulting in secondary explosions. The use of ATACMS comes amid concerns about future Western support for Ukraine, especially with Donald Trump returning to the White House. In response, Russia's Foreign Minister stated that this escalation could draw the US into direct conflict.
