KYIV, Ukraine—Ukraine fired several American-supplied longer-range missiles into Russia, officials said Tuesday, marking the first time Kyiv used the weapons that way in 1,000 days of war.
This image was made from a video posted by a Telegram channel affiliated with the Ukrainian military on Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2024. The channel says it shows US-supplied ATACMS missiles being fired from an undisclosed location in Ukraine. The Associated Press cannot independently verify the date and location the video was filmed.
The developments marked a worrying escalation in the conflict that has repeatedly ratcheted up international tensions. US officials recently expressed dismay at Russia’s deployment of North Korean troops to help it fight Ukraine, while Moscow seethed when Washington eased restrictions on the ATACMS in recent days.
Ukraine claimed Tuesday that it hit a military weapons depot in Russia’s Bryansk region overnight, though it didn’t specify what weapons it used. The Ukrainian General Staff said multiple explosions and detonations were heard in the targeted area around Karachev. The strike by a Shahed drone in the northern Sumy region late Monday hit a dormitory of an educational facility in the town of Hlukhiv and wounded 11 others, including two children, authorities said, adding that more people could be trapped under the rubble.
Zelenskyy told European Union lawmakers in a speech via video link that Russia has deployed about 11,000 North Korean troops along Ukraine’s borders and that the number could swell to 100,000.
