Ukraine fires British Storm Shadow missiles into Russia for first time

Ukraine has reportedly fired British Storm Shadow missiles into Russia for the first time, targeting the Kursk region. This action follows a recent escalation in the conflict, including the deployment of North Korean troops by Moscow. UK Defence Secretary John Healey confirmed the missile strikes without denying their occurrence. He emphasized the UK's commitment to supporting Ukraine amid increased Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities and infrastructure. Additionally, US President Joe Biden has allowed Ukraine to use American long-range Atacms missiles, which were employed in a strike on a military facility in Bryansk. In response, Russia has lowered its nuclear threat level and advised American citizens in Ukraine to prepare for potential air raids.
