Ukraine used the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) in a strike on Russia's Bryansk region this morning, the ministry of defence in Moscow said. Five missiles were shot down and one damaged, with its fragments causing a fire at a military facility in the region, it said. The strike represents the first time the long-range missiles have been used on Russia's internationally-recognised territory after Washington signalled Ukraine had permission to do so. Russia has vowed to "react accordingly”. Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/1rbfUog For more news, analysis and features visit: www.bbc.com/news #Russia #Ukraine #BBCNews
