Ukraine strikes into Russia with US weapons for first time, official says
Ukrainian forces have successfully targeted a Russian S-300 missile system with Western-supplied weapons on Russian territory, according to a Facebook post by Ukrainian government minister Iryna Vereshchuk.
The strike on the Russian missile system north of Belgorod city was likely carried out using a High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, as per the Institute for the Study of War.
This marks the first instance of Ukraine using U.S.-supplied weapons to attack targets within Russia after U.S. President Joe Biden authorized limited strikes against military threats on Russian territory.
