The attack, which involved a total of six missiles, resulted in the interception of five of them, according to information from the Russian Ministry of Defense. This event comes at a critical time, with the Kremlin about to announce a new directive on its nuclear doctrine. The target of the attack was the 67th Grau Armory, located in Karatchev, approximately 150 kilometers from the border with Ukraine.
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that the attack caused several explosions, but did not cause significant damage, being limited to a fire at the site. This military action is interpreted as a strategy by Ukraine to reassure Western allies, especially the US president, about its intentions.
The decision to attack with ATACMS missiles represents an escalation in hostilities between the two countries, reflecting the growing tension in the conflict. The United States’ authorization for Ukraine to use these missiles is an indication of Washington’s continued support for Kiev, amid concerns about the possibility of attacks on civilian areas.
