Ukraine has used American ATACMS missiles for the first time in a devastating overnight attack on Russian airfields. The US-supplied long-range Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles were secretly deployed to Ukraine and allowed Ukraine to strike distant Russian targets. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy confirmed the usage of ATACMS missiles and stated that the weapons had proven themselves. The strike resulted in heavy damage to two airfields in Russian-occupied areas. Satellite imagery and video footage released by the Ukrainian military show the aftermath of the attack, including burned areas and destroyed Russian helicopters. The US has agreed to regularly provide Ukraine with ATACMS missiles as part of the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
