NATO fighter jets were scrambled and ground-based air defense systems put on the highest level of alert in Poland and Romania during a massive and deadly overnight Russian attack on targets across Ukraine,

Ukraine said it had successfully struck targets in Russia using U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles, ending a months-long absence of the powerful weapon from the battlefield. In a statement shared on Facebook, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine called it "an iconic event that emphasizes Ukraine's unwavering devotion to its sovereignty."
