Russia Says It Downed Ukrainian ATACMS Over Voronezh and Struck Launchers as Ukraine Reports Nationwide Alerts

Ukraine acknowledges its first ATACMS strike into Russia, marking an expansion of Kyiv’s long‑range reach.

Overview

  • Russia’s Defense Ministry said four ATACMS aimed at Voronezh were intercepted, with debris damaging a geriatric center, an orphanage and a private home, and no casualties reported.
  • Moscow reported destroying two ATACMS launchers and hitting railway and energy infrastructure and US‑made MLRS used by Ukrainian forces, assertions that lack independent verification.
  • Ukraine’s General Staff said ATACMS targeted a military facility inside Russia for the first time as air‑raid alerts and blasts were logged in Kyiv and regions including Ivano‑Frankivsk and Kherson.
  • Russian forces described ongoing operations near Kupyansk and Krasnoarmeysk using FPV drones and artillery, claiming interdicted movement, the demining of two abandoned weapons depots, and the destruction of vehicles and a ground robotic system.
  • In the Zaporizhzhia sector, Russia said Uragan strikes killed up to 20 Ukrainian soldiers near Malaya Tokmachka and supported assault advances, and a pro‑Russian source reported a strike on a bunkered base in Lviv region.
