Ukraine hits Russia with US ATACMS missiles for first time on war's 1,000th day

Ukraine used U.S. ATACMS missiles to strike Russian territory on Tuesday, taking advantage of newly granted permission from the outgoing administration of President Joe Biden on the war's 1,000th day.
Russia said its forces shot down five out of six missiles, which were fired at a military facility in the Bryansk region. Debris of one hit the facility, starting a fire that was swiftly put out and caused no casualties or damage, it said. Ukraine said it struck a Russian arms depot about 110 km (70 miles) inside Russia in an attack that caused secondary explosions. Ukraine's military did not publicly specify what weapons it had used, but a Ukrainian government source and a U.S. official confirmed it had used ATACMS.
A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Russia was able to intercept two out of eight missiles fired by Ukraine and that the strike was at an ammunition supply point.
