It began shortly after Midnight eastern US time: A large and violent attack by Russian forces against numerous targets inside Ukraine. The Russian Defense Ministry made clear “This is retaliation for using U.S.-supplied ATACMS against Taganrog on Dec. 11.”
93 missiles and more than 200 drones showered several Ukrainian regions with warheads, plunging them in suffocating blackouts.

There were also concerns of “Iskander” missiles being launched from Taganrog.
