Russia has claimed that for the first time, Ukraine has fired long-range missiles received from the United States into its territory.
According to a report by the New York Times, the Russian Defense Ministry said that Ukraine fired six long-range Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles in the Bryansk region on Tuesday morning.
Russia said it shot down five missiles. According to the report, Ukrainian and American officials have also confirmed the use of ATACMS on Russia.
The US and Ukrainian governments have not made any statements on the matter.
Biden was approved 2 days ago
The US had given ATACMS missiles to Ukraine in October 2023, but under the terms, it could use them against enemies on its own soil.
The US had earlier told Russia not to use them because there was a possibility that it would make the Russia-Ukraine war more dangerous. But now that ban has been lifted.

The use of these weapons is not possible without satellites. Ukraine does not have such technology. This can only be done with the help of European Union satellites or American satellites.
