Ukraine has used America-supplied ATACMS cluster munitions to hit a Russian training ground. Drone footage shows four missiles hitting in rapid succession near the town of Mozhnyakivka. The first missile appears to be a dud and lands with a plume of smoke, but the other three scatter bomblets over a wide area which then explode in rapid succession. Based upon the footage, analysts believe casualties among Russian troops on the base are likely to be high. The video emerged just days after America acknowledged sending long-range ATACMS to Ukraine, which Kyiv said it had already used to carry out two strikes in secret. This is the first time an ATACMS strike has been confirmed since an initial batch of the weapons was sent last year. Ukraine used those missiles to attack Russian airbases, but quickly exhausted its supply. The US has recently passed a $60bn aid package for Ukraine, which is thought to contain more than 100 of the missiles. #russia #ukraine #atacms
