Air defenses have intercepted five US-made projectiles and damaged another, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has said
The Ukrainian military has launched multiple US-made ATACMS missiles at Russia’s Bryansk Region, some of which have been intercepted, the Russian Defense Ministry reported on Tuesday.
US President Joe Biden reportedly authorized the use of donated American weapons for strikes deep inside Russia last week. Moscow had previously said that long-range strikes with Western weapons would constitute a direct war between NATO and Russia.
According to a statement from the Defense Ministry, Kiev fired six long-range ballistic missiles identified as ATACMS early on Tuesday morning. Five were intercepted, while another one was damaged and hit the ground at a Russian military site in Bryansk Region. The Russian military said no damage had been caused by the incident.
