Ukraine last night claimed it successfully hit a missile system inside Russia using U.S. weapons.
It said the country’s forces destroyed Russian missile launchers with a strike in the Belgorod region.
Senior politician Yehor Chernev claimed Ukrainian forces used a High Mobility Rocket Artillery System, or HIMARS, The New York Times reported.
It comes just days after the U.S. granted permission for Ukraine to fire American weapons into Russia.
The US military has conducted a test launch of a hypersonic nuclear missile which is designed to counter the rising military threat of China and Russia.
Military officials said the purpose of the test was to show the ‘readiness of nuclear US forces’ and provide ‘confidence in the nation’s nuclear deterrence’ amid fears of the growing threat of the outbreak of World War III.
The demonstration saw an unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) blasted off at 12:56am PT from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
The weapon traveled more than 4,000 miles at speeds over 15,000 miles per hour to a test range on the Marshall Islands in the central Pacific Ocean.
