The Russian Defense Ministry said today (Nov. 19, 2024) that Ukraine launched ATACMS missiles at Russia's Bryansk region shortly after Joe Biden gave approval for U. S. military supplies to be deployed on Russian territory, the EuroNews website reports.
The ministry said Ukraine "struck a facility in the Bryansk region with six ballistic missiles."
Moscow went on to say its air defenses shot down five of the missiles and damaged one more.
"The fragments fell on the tactical territory in the Bryansk region, causing fire that was quickly extinguished. There were no casualties or any damage.
The strike marks the first case of Ukraine using the U.S.--made and supplied ATACMS missiles on Russian territory since Washington lifted its restrictions a few days ago.
