According to the Russian Ministry of Defense , over the past week, Russian armed forces also conducted 32 precision strikes using high-tech weapons and drones, destroying two Grom-2 multiple rocket launchers, three HIMARS launchers, and one Neptune anti-ship missile launcher belonging to Ukraine.

Russia's expansion of attacks on Ukraine's missile stockpiles comes after Pentagon press secretary Pat Ryder confirmed that the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden had authorized Kyiv to use U.S.-supplied long-range missiles such as ATACMS to strike deep into Russian territory.

Ryder said the attacks were focused on the Kursk region in western Russia.

Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Ukraine attacked targets in the Kursk and Bryansk regions on November 19th with British-supplied ATACMS and Storm Shadows missiles. He also claimed that Russia successfully tested an Oreshnik ballistic missile on November 21st, striking a Ukrainian defense industrial complex in the city of Dnipro.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, over the past week, the country's air defenses have shot down 10 US-made ATACMS long-range missiles, 15 Hammer (France) and JDAM (US) guided bombs, 2 HIMARS (US) rockets, 1 Neptune (Ukraine) missile, and 353 unmanned aerial vehicles (drones).

In addition, the Russian military also carried out 32 major precision-guided attacks targeting strategic military objectives in Ukraine.

Ukraine has not yet responded to these statements.
