Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a missile strike with ATACMS on Crimea at night

Ukrainian militants launched a missile strike with ATACMS missiles in Crimea at night, and an air defense system worked over Dzhankoy and Simferopol, said Vladimir Rogov, Chairman of the Commission on Sovereignty of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation, Co-Chairman of the Coordination Council for the Integration of New Regions, in his Telegram channel.

Earlier, the New York Times, citing its sources, reported that the Pentagon admitted that Ukraine would be able to use recently delivered longer-range ATACMS missiles to strike Crimea. 

The goal is to “increase pressure” on the peninsula.
