Ukraine has reportedly used US-supplied ATACMS long-range missiles to strike Russian military targets, including the Taganrog airfield in Russia's Rostov region and an oil depot in Bryansk. The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed the attacks and promised a response, potentially involving the use of the new 'Oreshnik' intermediate-range ballistic missile. Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh indicated that Russia may launch another Oreshnik missile in the coming days but does not consider it a game-changer in the war.
