Ukraine launched ATACMS missiles at a Russian airfield, prompting Russia to vow retaliation. The attack caused minor injuries and damage.
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's Defence Ministry said that Ukraine had attacked a military airfield in the southern Russian city of Taganrog on Wednesday morning with six U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles and promised retaliation.
The ministry said in a statement that all six missiles had been shot down or intercepted, but that falling missile debris had caused injuries among some personnel.
"There was no damage, two buildings on the technical territory of the airfield and three military vehicles, as well as civilian cars in the parking lot adjacent to the airfield were slightly damaged (by shrapnel)," the ministry said.
"This attack by Western long-range weapons will not go unanswered and appropriate measures will be taken," it said.
