Ukraine has fired US-supplied longer-range missiles at Russian territory for the first time, the Russian government said, a day after Washington gave its permission for such attacks.
US officials also confirmed use of the Army Tactical Missile System (Atacms) to CBS news, the BBC's US partner. Ukraine has not commented.
Russia's defence ministry said the strike targeted the Bryansk region bordering Ukraine to the north on Tuesday morning.
Five missiles were shot down and one damaged, with its fragments causing a fire at a military facility in the region, the ministry said.
Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov accused Washington of trying to escalate the conflict.
"That Atacms was used repeatedly overnight against Bryansk Region is of course a signal that they [the US] want escalation," he said.
"And without the Americans, use of these high-tech missiles, as Putin has said many times, is impossible."

Deep State: Let’s hang this around Trump’s neck before he enters office!
It’s not Biden but the Obama Crime Gang trying to create as much chaos as possible for Trump and then blame it all on Trump
I can only hope Putin sees this action as a demented old pervert trying to screw over his replacement, and as a result waits it out.
I think you’re right that Putin understands what’s going on. I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump and Putin are in communication about this.
Does Trump have secure communications or are the CIA and others listening in on him?
It will not effect the end of the war in one bit . all it will do is inflame Russia and make a negotiated settlement on terms favorable to the Ukraine all the more difficult - which is , of course, the goal of this ill advised stunt.
The war mongers driving this proxy war want a forever war regardless of the death and destruction it causes in the Ukraine and they will settle for nothing less.
I wouldn’t doubt Obama and Putin are working together , remember Putin could care less about Russians he sends thousands of them to their death
No worries - the entire “PUTIN IS HITLER!!!” gang has repeatedly assured me that, while “PUTLER!!!” is indeed a bloodthirsty dictator bent on Ukrainian genocide & world conquest, he is also a very considerate, sensible, and thoughtful politician, who would never, ever use nuclear weapons...
Dear Russia,

Thank you!
American Taxpayers
Lol! Hey, how the hell is “launch” spelled in Russian.
Biden is making good on his reputation for F-ing things up. Obama was right about him.
So, he could or couldn’t care less? 😉 Sorry, I make that same mistake sometimes.
“It will not effect the end of the war in one bit”
***************
That all depends on who is doing the actual targeting. One overzealous moment could change the world.
Coordinates for Biden’s Delaware home? Congress? White House?
DNC Headquarters.
That works.
Pooty-Poot can stop this on his own any day now and things would be largely over, except for Vicky Nuland and that walrus guy.
I can hear the Dims now.
“Trump has started WW III just like we said he would, by getting elected.”
“The coordinates appear to be located near the Number One Observatory Circle”
Well, there is that
