00:00BREAKING NEWS Russia has vowed retaliation after accusing
00:03Ukraine of using US-supplied long-range missiles in a bold strike near the border.

00:15fired by Ukraine into Russia's Belgorod region, just 25 miles from the border.
00:21The Russian Ministry of Defense says their advanced air defense systems intercepted and
00:25destroyed all eight missiles in midair.

00:37According to officials, this strike damaged infrastructure and injured at least one person
00:42in a nearby village.
00:44This escalation comes after US President Joe Biden greenlit Ukraine's use of ATACMS missiles
00:50in November, a decision that Russia has condemned multiple times.
00:54Russian President Vladimir Putin even claimed it justified testing their experimental hypersonic
00:59missile last month.
01:01The Belgorod strike follows another Ukrainian attack in December, where American-made missiles
01:06targeted a Russian airfield.
01:08Russia warned of retaliation then, and tensions are now reaching a boiling point.
01:14With both sides exchanging threats and actions, the stakes couldn't be higher.
