Ukrainian forces strike Russian territory with US weapons

The assault reportedly utilized the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), according to the Russian Ministry of Defense.

Russian air defense teams successfully intercepted and destroyed over 10 missiles in the Belgorod region.

This marks the first time during the ongoing conflict that Ukrainian forces have struck Russian soil using US-supplied weaponry.

Both the United States and Germany have confirmed granting Ukraine authorization to deploy the arms they provided against military sites located on Russian territory. (ILKHA)
