Russia says Ukraine has fired US-supplied long-range missiles into the country, a day after Washington gave its permission for such attacks. Ukraine used the Army Tactical Missile System (Atacms) in a strike on Russia's Bryansk region this morning, the ministry of defence in Moscow said.

Russia's Defence Ministry has claimed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine had struck an arsenal of the main missile and artillery department in Karachev, Bryansk Oblast, using ATACMS missiles on 19 November.

Russian air defence units destroyed 42 Ukrainian drones in at least eight southern and central regions on Tuesday evening, including 32 in Bryansk region on the border and two in Moscow region, officials said.
