Ukraine has struck a military target inside Russia using US-made long-range Atacms missiles for the first time since Joe Biden’s administration lifted restrictions on their use, according to Ukrainian officials.
Warheads launched by the Army Tactical Missile System, or Atacms, hit a large weapons arsenal near the town of Karachev in Russia’s Bryansk region on Tuesday, more than 115km from the Ukrainian border, the officials said.
The depot is 190km north of the frontline in the neighbouring Kursk region, where Russian forces are trying to push out Ukrainian troops who occupy about 600 sq km of territory after their surprise incursion in August.
