Russia has declared its intention to retaliate after asserting that it successfully intercepted eight US-made ATACMS missiles fired by Ukraine on Saturday. The use of these missiles, with a range of up to 300 kilometers, is viewed by Moscow as a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict.
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that the country's air defenses downed the eight ballistic missiles in conjunction with 72 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of aircraft-type. The Ministry stated that these actions by the Kyiv regime, allegedly supported by Western powers, will not go unanswered.
