The Military Informant telegram channel believes that it was not ATACMS missiles that struck Rylsk in the Kursk region.

The author of the channel made such conclusions from the message of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, which states that the sappers of the Ministry of Emergency Situations destroyed the high-explosive fragmentation warhead of the HIMARS missile in Rylsk.

"Based on objective data, such as the wreckage of the rocket and the nature of the destruction, it can be concluded that the strikes on Rylsk were not carried out by ATACMS missiles, but GMLRS missiles from the HIMARS MLRS were used," the report said.

As a result of a rocket attack on the city of Rylsk, Kursk region, on December 20, six people were killed, including a child. Among the victims is a pregnant woman.
