This was reported by Reuters and AP, citing an anonymous American official.

According to the news agencies, ATACMS was part of a $300 million military aid package to Ukraine that US President Joe Biden approved in March 2024. The AP separately notes that it is a “significant number” of ATACMS, but does not specify a specific number.
