Russia has established that six ATACMS missiles were used during the attack of the armed forces of Ukraine on the Taganrog airfield, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Wednesday.
"On the morning of December 11, 2024, the Kiev regime launched a missile strike with Western precision weapons at the Taganrog military airfield in the Rostov region. During an investigation, it was reliably established that six US-made ATACMS ballistic missiles were used," the ministry said in a statement.
The Taganrog airfield staff was injured and two building on the territory of the facility have been damaged from the fall of the fragments of ATACMS missiles used by Ukraine, the ministry added.

Russia could launch another hypersonic ballistic missile in Ukraine in the coming days, but Washington does not consider the Oreshnik weapon a game-changer in the war, a US official said on Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteRussia first fired the Oreshnik missile at the Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Nov. 21, in what President Vladimir Putin cast as a response to Ukraine’s first use of US ATACMs ballistic missiles and British Storm Shadows to strike Russian territory with Western permission.
“We assess that the Oreshnik is not a game-changer on the battlefield, but rather just another attempt by Russia to terrorize Ukraine, which will fail,” the official said.
There was no immediate response from Russia.
