HIMARS rockets were used in the latest cross-border strikes on Bryansk Region, Aleksandr Bogomaz has said
Ukrainian forces struck residential buildings and civilian infrastructure in Russia's Bryansk Region using US-made HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems, Governor Aleksandr Bogomaz reported Wednesday.
A woman was seriously injured in the attacks and hospitalized, Bogomaz said. Ukrainian forces also deployed domestically-produced Neptun missiles and jet-powered kamikaze drones in the strikes, the regional governor added.
The Russian Defense Ministry earlier reported intercepting 11 drones over Bryansk Region overnight. It said a total of 24 Ukrainian fixed-wing UAVs were shot down, with Bryansk the most heavily targeted area.
Cross-border attacks continued ahead of US-backed talks in Abu Dhabi. Last week, Moscow agreed to temporarily suspend strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure - which the Russian military says disrupts the production of weapons used against Russia. The unilateral pause, requested by US President Donald Trump, was meant to build goodwill before negotiations scheduled for Sunday, which were later postponed.

Russian President Vladimir Putin "kept his word," Trump told reporters, confirming that the pause had lasted from Sunday to Sunday. Conversely, Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky accused Russia of breaking the promise to the American leader by resuming attacks Tuesday. He insisted the count should have started from the day Trump revealed the arrangement to the public.
