Russia’s Defence Ministry reported that Ukraine launched an attack on a military airfield in Taganrog, a southern city in Russia, on Wednesday morning, utilizing six ATACMS missiles supplied by the United States. The ministry indicated that all six missiles were either shot down or intercepted; however, debris from the missiles resulted in injuries to some personnel.

According to the statement, there was no significant damage, although two buildings within the technical area of the airfield and three military vehicles, along with civilian cars in the nearby parking lot, sustained minor damage from shrapnel.

The ministry emphasized that this assault involving Western long-range weaponry would not go unanswered, and appropriate countermeasures would be implemented.
