Russia has said Ukraine fired US-supplied long-range missiles into the country for the first time on Tuesday. Ukraine used Atacms missiles in a strike on Russia's Bryansk region this morning, the ministry of defence in Moscow said.

Ukraine has fired US-made ATACMS missiles into Russia’s Bryansk region, Russia’s Defense Ministry said, in a major escalation on the 1,000th day of war. The attack comes just two days after the Biden administration gave Kyiv the green light to use the longer-range American weapons against targets inside Russia.

The attack comes two days after it was reported that the Biden administration had lifted restrictions on the use of the missiles against targets inside Russia.
