Ukraine's First Use of US ATACMS Missiles Sparks Russian Tensions
TL;DR Summary
Ukraine has fired six U.S.-made ATACMS missiles into Russia for the first time, targeting the Bryansk region. The Russian Defense Ministry reported that five missiles were intercepted, with no injuries reported. This action follows the Biden administration's decision to allow Ukraine to use long-range Western weaponry. The move has raised tensions, with Russia updating its nuclear doctrine to consider attacks by nonnuclear states supported by nuclear-armed nations as potential grounds for a nuclear response. Ukrainian officials have not confirmed the missile strikes.
