Ukraine reportedly uses UK Storm Shadow missiles in Russia's Kursk region

standard.co.uk

Reports indicate that Ukraine has used British-supplied Storm Shadow missiles in Russia, with wreckage found in the Kursk region. This follows Moscow's claim that American long-range weapons were fired into its territory. The situation escalates as Russian President Vladimir Putin has lowered the threshold for nuclear weapon use. This change comes after U.S. President Joe Biden allowed Ukraine to use ATACMS missiles against Russian targets. In the UK, Defence Secretary John Healey confirmed ongoing discussions with Ukraine about military support. Meanwhile, the U.S. has closed its embassy in Kyiv due to potential air attacks, while the UK embassy remains open but under review for safety.
