Russian Military Says Ukraine's ATACMS Attack on Belgorod Region Will Not Go Unanswered
20250105
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Russian Defense Ministry said on Saturday that it would respond to the attempt by the Ukrainian armed forces to strike Russia's Belgorod Region with ATACMS missiles.
"On 3 January, the Kiev regime attempted to deliver a missile strike by US-made ATACMS operational-tactical missiles at Belgorod region. In the course of an air defence battle, S-400 SAM [surface-to-air missile] system and Pantsir-SM crews shot down all the ATACMS missiles. This actions of the Kiev regime supported by Western curators won't go unanswered," the ministry said in a statement.
Allowing Kiev to strike deep into Russia with West-supplied weapons directly involves NATO countries in the conflict, Russian President Vladimir Putin has previously said.
