Revenge For Putin’s Nuke Warning? Ukraine Fires Deadly U.S-made ATACMS Missile at Russia

Ukraine escalates the conflict with a long-range missile strike against Russia’s Bryansk region, using the U.S.-supplied ATACMS missile system. The strike comes after Moscow issued a stern nuclear warning, with tensions further flaring as the missiles mark the first direct assault on Russia’s internationally recognized territory. Despite Russia’s defence systems intercepting some of the missiles, the strike caused significant damage, including a fire at a military facility. The use of ATACMS missiles, capable of reaching targets up to 300 km away, signals a new phase in Ukraine's military strategy, intensifying the conflict in the ongoing war #UkraineStrike #ATACMS #PutinNukeWarning #RussiaStrike #UkraineMissileAttack #USMissileAid #BryanskStrike #UkraineVsRussia #LongRangeMissile #UkraineMilitary #RussiaConflict #MissileStrike #NATOResponse #RussiaDefenses #UkraineWar ~HT.178~GR.344~PR.152~ED.155~
