Ukraine's ATACMS Strikes Spark Russian Retaliation Threats

Ukraine has reportedly used ATACMS ballistic missiles to strike a Russian military airfield in Kursk Oblast, marking the first use of these long-range missiles in such an operation. This follows U.S. President Joe Biden's approval for Ukraine to target deeper into Russian territory. The strike involved cluster munitions and targeted the "Kursk-East" tactical aviation airfield, with reports indicating that only one of the eight missiles was not intercepted by Russian air defenses. The Ukrainian government has not officially commented on the attack.
