Russian response to ATACMS attack: is now a conflict?
According to the Ukrainian military information near Pokrowsk, in the east of Ukraine, the Russian armed forces started significant attacks in order to cut the city from the supplying infrastructure. In the past 24 hours, 34 attacks are said to have been carried out with the aim of breaking the Ukrainian lines of defense. These attacks have led to a temporary stop of air traffic in St. Petersburg, Russia, since the Rosawiazija aviation authority had the operation at the airport for security reasons. In the meantime, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that 16 Ukrainian drones were neutralized over the regions of Brjansk, Smolensk, Belgorod, Pskow and Leningrad, including 72 drones and eight intercepted ATACMS rockets from US production, such as Kleine Zeitung reported.Atacms rocket attack on Russia
A remarkable incident occurred when Ukraine started an attack with six Atacms rockets on a arms camp in the Russian region of Brjansk, adjacent to Kursk. According to official Russian reports, five of the rockets were intercepted, but the sixth reached its goal and led to explosions in the depot. This attack represents a significant escalation and raises the question of how Russia will react because the use of Atacms rockets on Russian soil becomes increasingly reality. According to the political analyst Gilbert Doctorow, whose analysis on Gilbertdoctorow.com Tensions between the two countries are now increasing to a new level after Ukraine is now able to attack military destinations on Russian territory. This could strongly influence the geopolitical dynamics and the military strategies of both sides.
