Most likely the M57 Block IA Unitary version with a 214kg HE warhead and a CEP of 9 meters.
ETCM: any additional information is greatly appreciated.
In total 10 Russian AFVs were destroyed/damaged during the attack. One group of Russian infantry was able to land on the outskirts of the town near multi-story buildings. But the group was cut off from Russian forces. In the evening of the 18th of May there were no more Russian infantry in the town.
“Currently there are also no Russians in the cities of Chasiv Yar. For the third day in a row, Russians are trying to attack with AFV groups of up to 20 units. On the morning of May 19, there was another attempt to break through the towns defenses, without success. Some of the armored vehicles were destroyed, some moved back to their positions”
The last video shows part of the Russian infantry group that has reached Chasiv Yar but was cut of from the Russian forces and was captured by Ukrainian ‘Kraken’ unit.

A ship in port should be a reasonable target for ATACMS. Though a direct hit might require a little luck, a “mission kill” would be pretty likely, depending on the warhead. I’m not sure if we have delivered M48/M57 yet. Of course, there is a current trend in Russia to call everything ATACMS, so it could have been some other weapon.

This is in addition to the minesweeper sunk yesterday?
I haven’t had much time to be online today to follow the news.
