Ukraine launched six US-made ATACMS missiles at Russia’s Bryansk region, marking a significant escalation in the conflict. Russia claims five missiles were intercepted, with fragments from one causing a fire at a military site but no casualties. This strike follows President Biden's approval for Ukraine to use long-range missiles. In response, President Vladimir Putin lowered Russia’s nuclear threshold, warning of potential retaliation for attacks threatening sovereignty. Kyiv confirmed targeting a military facility without specifying weapons used. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, addressing parliament, announced plans to ramp up domestic missile and drone production. Western nations continue supporting Ukraine despite Russian threats.
