In a statement from the Russian Ministry of Defense, it was announced that Ukraine attempted to carry out an attack on Russia's Belgorod region on January 3 using US-made ATACMS operational-tactical missiles.
It was reported that 8 missiles were shot down by S-400 and Pantsir-SM air defense systems. The statement declared, "These actions by the Western-backed Kyiv regime will not go unanswered."
Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden, who is preparing to hand over his office to Donald Trump on January 20, approved Ukraine's use of ATACMS missiles in November, stating that this was a "response to Russia expanding the conflict by deploying North Korean soldiers to the front line in the war in Ukraine."
