Explosions in the Bryansk region of the Russian Federation
Earlier it was reported that on the night of November 19, the 67th arsenal of the Russian GRU was hit in Bryansk region, and in Rostov region, local authorities reported a drone attack.

Authorization for strikes on Russian territory
As a reminder, current US President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to launch long-range ATACMS missiles at Russian territory.
CNN noted that Biden's authorization to fire long-range missiles at Russia would complicate Trump's plans for a truce.
Axios writes that Biden's lifting of restrictions on long-range strikes applies only to the Kursk region of Russia.
