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

Ukraine has launched U.S.-made ATACMS missiles at Russia's Bryansk region for the first time in the ongoing conflict, marking a significant escalation on the war's 1,000th day. This development follows Russia's announcement of a lower nuclear response threshold. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the use of long-range capabilities, including ATACMS, but did not specify details about the strikes. Russia claimed to have intercepted most of the missiles, with debris causing a fire at a military facility. The conflict continues to escalate, with recent Russian strikes in Ukraine resulting in multiple civilian casualties. Ukraine plans to increase its production of long-range drones and missiles to reduce reliance on Western support.
