Ukraine launched an overnight attack on Russia's Bryansk region using six US-made ATACMS long-range missiles, according to the Russian Defense Ministry. The ministry reported that five missiles were intercepted by S-400 and Pantsir air defense systems, while one was damaged, with its fragments causing a fire at a military facility that was extinguished. The incident occurred at 3:25 a.m., and no casualties or serious damage were reported. This attack follows the recent lifting of restrictions by Washington on Ukraine's use of US-made longer-range missiles to strike targets inside Russia.
