No damage?
They claim that is didn't destroy ammunition at an ammunition storage facility.
I'm quite surprised.

Yes.

It's cnn so I'm sure they hated to report the bad news...
Provocation fail!
What's provocative about this?
Ukraine has been attacking ammunition dumps for a while.
They hit the same Depot in October. Just use drones

It's provocative because everyone has made noise about the Ukrainians using US armaments. Biden greenlit it. It's optics.
Yep sounds like the Iran strike
That would mean 5 missiles were shot down, and 1 missed the target (or the target was empty space near the ammo depot).
Note: Another article claims the 6th was basically shot down, too, but pieces of it fell and that is what caused the fire.
Regardless, it was a pitiful display of American technology. This needs to be addressed by Trump, as well.
Remember when Q pointed to the low quality steel being used in US ships? Sabotage or financial greed, makes no difference. It needs to stop.
Every time another ammo dump explodes, air defense has worked perfectly. But debris has caused explosions.
It's gotten to the point where the joke is that the ukrainian's best weapon is debris.
This attack in Toropets set off millions of pounds of ammunition and caused a shock wave equivalent to a small earthquake. Pretty good for debris.

Given that this was a drone attack, we don't have any confirmation yet that ATACMS were used. Drones could have done this.
EDIT: CNN report above says US officials confirmed ATACMS.
