Ukraine launches UK-made Storm Shadow missiles into Russia for first time

Ukraine has reportedly launched UK-made Storm Shadow missiles into Russia for the first time. Russian sources claim around 12 missiles were fired into the Kursk region shortly after UK officials suggested lifting restrictions on their use. This development follows a shift in US policy, allowing the transfer of long-range missiles to Ukraine. Ukrainian officials have sought permission to use Storm Shadows against targets in Russia, which they have been allowed to deploy within their own territory. The missiles reportedly targeted a military facility in the Kursk region, with some claims of an attempt to strike the Crimean Bridge. Russian officials reported intercepting two missiles, but the overall missile launch has been confirmed by multiple sources.
