Ukraine has reportedly fired U.S.-supplied longer-range missiles into Russia for the first time since U.S. President Joe Biden is said to have authorized their limited use. 

According to the French news agency AFP, Russia’s defense ministry said in a statement on Tuesday that Ukraine fired six missiles using the Army Tactical Missile System at 3:25 a.m. in a strike on a facility in Russia’s Bryansk region.

The statement said Russia’s air defense systems shot down five of the missiles mid-flight and damaged a sixth, adding that fragments from the damaged missile fell on the territory of a military facility but caused no casualties or damage.

The attack marks the first time Ukraine has used the longer-range American weapons to strike targets deep inside Russia since Biden reportedly lifted restrictions a few days ago.
