Ukraine launched British-made 'Storm Shadow' missiles to target military sites deep within Russian territory.
Following US missile strikes, Ukraine has launched British-made 'Storm Shadow' missiles to target military sites deep within Russian territory. This action represents a significant escalation in the conflict, now in its 1,000th day. The decision to deploy these long-range cruise missiles is believed to be in response to Russia's use of North Korean troops in support of its military operations, a move that Western officials have criticized as a dangerous escalation.
