Ukraine Reportedly Targets Russian Airbase with US-Made ATACMS Missiles
Unconfirmed reports suggest a Ukrainian strike on a Kursk military airbase, marking the second known use of ATACMS on Russian soil.
- Ukrainian forces are reported to have launched ATACMS missiles at a Russian military airbase near Kursk, though the attack remains unverified by official sources.
- The strike allegedly involved at least two missiles with cluster warheads, but the extent of damage is currently unknown.
- This would be the second use of ATACMS missiles by Ukraine within Russian territory, following a prior strike on a munitions depot in Bryansk last week.
- The attacks come as the United States has permitted Ukraine to use long-range weapons against military targets inside Russia.
- Russian forces in the Kursk region, bolstered by 50,000 troops including 10,000 North Korean fighters, are reportedly aiming to reclaim territory held by Ukraine since the summer.
