The US provided Ukraine with powerful ballistic missiles this month but did not reveal them publicly for operational security reasons, a National Security Council spokesman said.
The US provided Ukraine with powerful long-range ballistic missiles for the first time earlier this month, and Ukraine's military has used them twice in the past week against Russian forces, according to three US officials.
The first attack occurred about 100 miles inside the Crimean border on the morning of April 17, targeting a Russian military airfield, according to officials. The Ukrainian military used the US-provided Army Tactical Missile System, known as ATACMS, for the second time on Tuesday evening, targeting Russian forces east of the southeastern Ukrainian city of Berdyansk in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, officials said.
