Ukraine Confirms ATACMS Strike Inside Russia, Says Long-Range Operations Will Continue

The public disclosure follows a 2024 U.S. decision that removed geographic limits on Kyiv’s use of the missiles.

Overview

  • Ukraine’s General Staff said ATACMS were used for a precise strike on military targets on Russian territory, calling it a significant development.
  • The military stated that employing long-range capabilities, including ATACMS, will continue.
  • Moscow’s mayor reported three Ukrainian drones were shot down en route to the capital as Sheremetyevo and Vnukovo airports halted traffic temporarily before reopening, according to Russia’s aviation watchdog.
  • Ukrainian forces had previously reported using long-range Neptune missiles against targets in Russia on the night of November 14.
  • Kyiv has requested U.S.-made Tomahawk missiles, and President Donald Trump said in November he was not really considering approving such transfers.
