Ukraine Fires ATACMS Missiles into Russia

Russian troops intensified attacks in Ukraine, striking Kramatorsk six times and resulting in one death and multiple injuries. President Vladimir Putin warned that Russia might use newly tested missiles against countries aiding Ukraine. Ukraine, in a significant escalation, has launched intercontinental ballistic missiles and American-supplied ATACMS into Russia for the first time in the conflict, hitting targets in the Bryansk region. This escalation coincides with Russia's new nuclear doctrine, which allows for a nuclear response to conventional attacks supported by nuclear powers, raising international tensions. The involvement of North Korean troops in support of Russia further complicates the situation. Analysts predict that neither side can sustain prolonged conflict, especially with upcoming political changes in the U.S. potentially affecting support for Ukraine.
