Former U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta discusses President Biden permitting Ukraine to use long-range U.S. missiles into Russian territory on ‘Your World.’

Moscow says Ukrainian forces have taken advantage of President Biden's green light and launched 6 U.S.-made ATACMs into Russian territory Tuesday.

Russia says it shot down five of the missiles and damaged the sixth. It added that debris landed in the area of a Russian military facility, but that no casualties or damage beyond a small fire.
