Today that claim turned out to have been premature:

AFAIK the target was the 325th Aviation Repair Plant located in the vicinity of the Taganrog-Tsentralny Air Base.

Taganrog, on the norther coast of the Azov Sea in the Rostov oblast of Russia, is where the Beriev Aircraft Company is housed. The company is well known for building amphibious flying boat utility planes.

But it is also producing the Beriev 100 airplane which is the Russian version of an airborne early warning and control aircraft system (AWACS). The plant thus has strategic importance.

The Russian Ministry of Defense acknowledged the attack but claimed that it failed (machine translation):

During the investigation, it was reliably established that six American-made ATACMS ballistic missiles were used.

Two missiles were shot down by the Pantsir missile defense system, while the rest were rejected by electronic warfare.

As a result of falling fragments of missiles, there are casualties among the personnel. There was no damage, two buildings on the technical territory of the airfield and three units of military vehicles, as well as civilian vehicles in the parking lot adjacent to the airfield were slightly damaged (split by shrapnel).

This attack by Western long-range weapons will not remain unanswered, and appropriate measures will be taken.

Ukraine is unable to use long range ATACMS missiles without the intelligence and targeting information provided by U.S. systems and specialists.
