Moscow vows response after saying Kyiv attacked airfield with US long-range missiles

Ukraine attacked an airfield in southern Russia with US-supplied long-range missiles early Wednesday, the Russian military said, vowing it would respond with "appropriate measures".

"Six American-made ATACMS ballistic missiles were used. Two of the missiles were shot down by the combat crew of the Pantsir air defense system, while the others were deflected by electronic warfare equipment," the Russian defense ministry said.
