British Storm Shadow missiles struck a building in Russia's Kursk region today, reportedly targeting a control room where Russian and North Korean military officials were present. This marks the first use of these missiles by Ukraine against Russian territory. The attack follows a recent U.S. decision allowing Ukraine to use long-range ATACMS missiles against Russian targets. Ukrainian defense experts suggest the strike aimed at North Korean commanders, as tensions rise with North Korea sending troops to support Russia. Images from the site show missile fragments, confirming the use of British Storm Shadows. These missiles can evade air defenses and have a range of up to 180 miles, enabling Ukraine to hit previously unreachable military targets inside Russia.
