Russia’s military said Tuesday that Ukraine fired US-supplied long-range missiles at a military facility in the Bryansk border region, state media reported, in what would be the first attack since Washington authorised such strikes.

“At 03:25 am (0025 GMT), the enemy struck a site in the Bryansk region with six ballistic missiles. According to confirmed data, US-made ATACMS tactical missiles were used," state news agencies reported the defence ministry as saying in a statement.

This comes a day after the Biden administration authorised Ukraine to use US-made weapons to strike deeper into Russian territory.
