Ukraine fires several US-made longer-range missiles into Russia for the first time
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Officials say Ukraine fired several American-supplied longer-range missiles into Russia, marking the first time Kyiv has used such weapons since the start of the war. The Kremlin said Tuesday that it shot down five Army Tactical Missile System missiles and damaged a sixth, and that debris fell on an unspecified Russian military facility in the Bryansk region. A U.S. official says Ukraine fired about eight of the missiles and that some struck an ammunition supply site. The use of the long-range missiles came as Russian President Vladimir Putin formally lowered the threshold for using nuclear weapons. The developments mark a worrying escalation in the conflict that has repeatedly ratcheted up international tensions.
