MOSCOW (Reuters) – Four ATACMS missiles, long-range projectiles of American design, were shot down in the skies over Crimea by Moscow’s forces, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Saturday without providing further details.
An American official declared last month that these missiles, which can reach a target located 300 kilometers away, have been delivered discreetly in recent weeks by the United States.
