ATACMS Score Bullseye Strike on Russian Military Base

Ukrainian forces appeared to strike a Russian training site in the southern Zaporizhzhia region using U.S.-made ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile Systems), Telegram channels reported on Friday.

Multiple Ukrainian Telegram channels, including Public Reserve Stugna, which has just under 85,000 subscribers, and Andriy Tsaplienko, a Ukrainian journalist, shared video footage which purportedly shows the moment the training ground was struck, causing multiple clouds of smoke to rise into the air.

"Reportedly, this is a strike on a Russian training site in Zaporizhzhia region with GMLRS missiles and ATACMS cluster missiles," said Anton Gerashchenko, a former adviser to Ukraine's minister of internal affairs, on X (formerly Twitter), on Friday.

Newsweek couldn't independently verify when or where the footage was filmed, and has contacted Russia's Defense Ministry for comment by email.
