Ukraine Reportedly Fires UK Storm Shadow Missiles Into Russia

Air defences shot down two Storm Shadow cruise missiles manufactured by Britain, six HIMARS rockets manufactured by the USA and 67 unmanned aerial vehicles of the aircraft type,' the defence ministry said.

Both the British and Ukrainian governments have refused to confirm or deny reports that Ukrainian forces fired up to 10 Storm Shadow missiles at targets in Maryino, a village in Russia’s Kursk border region.

The Storm Shadow missiles, capable of striking targets up to 250 kilometers (155 miles) away, carry 450-kilogram (990-pound) BROACH penetration warheads designed to destroy fortified structures.

Britain is braced for a backlash from Putin today after Storm Shadow missiles were fired on Russia for the first time.
