Russia vows response against US missiles

MOSCOW/KYIV — Russia warned on Tuesday that it would respond after Ukraine fired longer-range US missiles into its territory for the first time on the 1,000th day of the conflict.

A senior official told the Agence France-Presse that a strike on Russia's Bryansk region earlier on Tuesday "was carried out by ATACMS missiles", a reference to the US-supplied Army Tactical Missile System.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said the attack showed Western countries wanted to "escalate" the conflict.
