Russia Says Downed 4 Long Range Missiles Supplied To Ukraine By US

Russia on Saturday said it had downed four US-made ATACMS long-range missiles recently supplied by Washington to Kviv over the Moscow-annexed Crimean peninsula.

The defence ministry said it had "foiled" the night attack but did not specify if the falling debris had caused any damage.

In April, the United States confirmed it had sent these missiles to Ukraine, which had been pressing for them to strike targets way beyond the front line.
