Ukraine's armed forces have reportedly fired up to 12 British-supplied Storm Shadow cruise missiles at military targets inside Russia for the first time, according to both Ukrainian and Russian sources. The missiles targeted the Kursk region, with fragments found near the village of Maryino, approximately 50 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. This escalation comes just 24 hours after a nuclear warning from Russian President Vladimir Putin and follows recent strikes using U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles.
