Defense forces of Ukraine used ATACMS missiles to strike Russia for the first time. A total of “eight units were launched.” This was stated by the Reuters news agency, citing the words of an unnamed American official.
According to an anonymous official, Russia allegedly managed to intercept two of the eight missiles.
The official confirmed that the target of the attack by the Ukrainian defenders was an arsenal in the Bryansk region.
As you know, in the Bryansk region the 67th arsenal of the Main Directorate of Rocket and Artillery (GRAU) of the Russian Ministry of Defense was attacked. Videos of loud explosions appeared on social networks. Later, information about the attack on the arsenal was confirmed by the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
