The Armed Forces of Ukraine have launched what is reported to be twelve (12) "Storm Shadow" cruise missiles, into Kursk, Russia. But video below records FOURTEEN (14) explosions.
In the video below, most of the visuals are obstructed by trees, but the sounds of incoming missiles on MOST (but not all) can clearly be heard. I counted fourteen (14) distinct explosion sounds in the nearly three minute video.
Since some of the explosions came without the advance noise of an incoming missile, one wonders if some of the incoming were ATACMS shells, perhaps attacking the same target as the Storm Shadow missiles?
Watch:
Reports are saying that the target of this particular attack was near the historic Baratynskys' estate, now a sanatorium under the control of the Russian presidential administration.
Sources with the UKRAINE Armed Forces claim the following:
The target, located in the eastern part of the estate, is described as a "communications hub." "With a high degree of certainty, this is not just a regular communications facility, but an underground command post.
Given the proximity of the sanatorium, it is highly likely that it was used by the command of the Russian forces in the Kursk region. And considering that North Korean troops are also operating there, it is possible that North Korean generals were present."
"Such a facility justifies the use of a significant number of Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles. Moreover, their 450 kg warhead is specifically designed to target protected facilities."
The alleged Storm Shadow attack took place against the town of Marino, Kursk region of Russia.
The Russian Governor of Kursk claims two missiles entered its airspace and both were intercepted, but did not specify which type of missiles. The Russian military journalist, 'Two Majors', says 12 Storm Shadows were in fact used. Ukraine has neither confirmed nor denied.
Minutes ago, the US Department of Defense releases a Press Statement about the most recent delivery of military gear from the US to Ukraine. Of special note: "Nuclear, Radiological protective equipment."
