Five missiles were shot down, and one was destroyed. A military installation in the area caught fire due to missile debris, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement. BBC reported.
The US missile attack has also appeared in the Ukrainian media. However, the response of the Ukrainian government has not yet been received. According to Russia’s Defense Ministry, the fire started after falling debris from a missile. The fire was quickly extinguished. No one was injured in this incident.
Earlier, the Ukrainian military confirmed that it had attacked an ammunition depot in the Bryansk region of Russia. However, they did not confirm whether ATACMS was used in this attack.
