Ukraine has launched several US-supplied long-range missiles on targets in Russia\u2019s Kursk Region over past three days, the ministry said<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Russia is preparing a response to Ukraine\u2019s ATACMS attacks on Kursk Region, the Russian Defense Ministry announced on Tuesday. Last week, US President Joe Biden authorized Kiev to use US-supplied long-range missiles against targets deep inside Russia\u2019s internationally recognized borders.<\/p>\n

In an official statement on Telegram, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that over the past three days, Ukraine\u2019s forces had conducted two long-range strikes on Kursk Region using Western weaponry.<\/p>\n

On November 23, Kiev reportedly fired five ATACMS missiles at the vicinity of the village of Lotaryovka, some 37km northwest of the city of Kursk, targeting the position of an S-400 anti-aircraft missile division. The strike resulted in three casualties among the personnel and caused damage to the radar, the ministry said.<\/p>\n

Additionally, on November 25, Kiev launched another eight ATACMS at the Kursk-Vostochny airfield, located near the village of Khalino. Seven of the missiles were shot down using the S-400 missile defense system and the Pantsir air defense missile and gun system. However, one of the missiles managed to reach its target. As a result, two servicemen were injured and several facilities were \u201cslightly damaged,\u201d<\/em> according to the report.<\/p>\n

The ministry noted that during the inspections of the target areas, it was \u201creliably confirmed\u201d<\/em> that Kiev\u2019s forces had carried out the attacks using US-supplied ATACMS missiles. The ministry also published several photos of what are purported to be the remains of the American-made rockets.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Russian Ministry of Defense is monitoring the situation, and response actions are being prepared,\u201d<\/em> the report concluded.<\/p>\n

Previously, in response to Biden authorizing Kiev to use the ATACMS sytems, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the deployment of Russia\u2019s brand-new hypersonic Oreshnik ballistic missile. The new weapon, which is capable of carrying nuclear warheads, was used against a Ukrainian military industrial facility in the city of Dnepropetrovsk.<\/p>\n

Putin called the strike a \u201ccombat test\u201d<\/em> of the state-of-the-art weapon and warned that such \u201ctests\u201d<\/em> would continue, depending on the circumstances and that Russia would respond \u201cdecisively and in a mirror-like manner\u201d<\/em> to the further escalation of aggressive actions by Kiev and it foreign backers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
