Reports have emerged claiming Ukraine has launched UK-supplied storm shadow missiles into Russia for the first time.
Residents in the village of Marino, located close to the Russian city of Kursk, are said to have found fragments of the UK-made Storm Shadow missile on Wednesday.Images uploaded to Telegram from those in the region appear to show fragments adorned with the words 'Storm Shadow Use Only' beside a unique serial number.Initial reports from Russian military bloggers suggested the missile had been fired on Wednesday afternoon.
The use of the missiles comes after Russia launched a counteroffensive in Kursk, a region taken in August by Ukraine troops in an unexpected ground offensive.It follows Joe Biden’s decision earlier this week to allow Ukraine to fire US-made long-range missiles into Russia. In response to the claims, the Ministry of Defence has said it is refusing to comment on reports that Ukraine has fired the Storm Shadow missile into the region.
