Aksyonov shared a photo on Telegram showing what he described as undetonated submunitions of ATACMS missiles. He did not specify when or how many missiles were shot down. The United States recently shipped long-range missiles to Ukraine, which has reportedly used them twice, according to a U.S. official.
