Ukraine launches Storm Shadow missiles into Russia for first time

Ukrainian forces have launched UK-supplied Storm Shadow missiles into Russia for the first time, marking a significant escalation in their military response. This follows a recent U.S. approval for Ukraine to use long-range missiles against Russian targets. The missiles reportedly struck the Kursk region, where North Korean troops are present. Previously, the UK had restricted the use of Storm Shadows to targets in Crimea, but the situation changed after U.S. support for long-range attacks. This attack comes shortly after Ukraine targeted military facilities in the Bryansk region with U.S.-made missiles. In response, Russian President Putin has warned of potential nuclear retaliation against countries using long-range missiles.
