• Airfield attacked with ATACMS – Ukraine has launched, for the first time, ATACMS ballistic missiles, manufactured in the USA, with cluster warheads, at a military airfield in the Kursk region, OSINT analysts have discovered. According to them, Ukrainian missile forces hit the Vostochni airfield with ATACMS missiles last night. OSINT presents images of the detonation of submunitions from two M39 missiles with cluster warheads within the airfield perimeter. Geolocation data shows that the missiles hit an area where aircraft are stationed, including fighter jets, but it is currently unknown if they were there at the time of the attack. A Russian military blogger with ties to the Air Force confirmed the ATACMS strike. He claims that Ukraine launched eight American ballistic missiles, and the Russians attempted to intercept seven. This only means there was an interception attempt by the Russians, not a confirmed success, writes Ukrainska Pravda.
