Russia Threatens Retaliation After Ukraine Missile Strikes
Following a claimed Ukrainian attack using US-provided ATACMS missiles, Russia vowed retaliation, citing the incident as a major escalation. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported intercepting eight ATACMS missiles and 72 UAVs, with attacks impacting regions including Leningrad and Kursk. This follows President Putin’s earlier threats to respond to ATACMS use with the new “Oreshnik” missile. Simultaneously, Russia launched a large-scale drone attack against Ukraine, resulting in damage and casualties.
