For the first time, Ukraine used British Storm Shadow cruise missiles on the territory of Russia. This was reported by the Bloomberg agency with reference to a Western official who spoke on condition of anonymity and is familiar with the situation.
A missile attack was carried out on a military target in the Kursk border region in the afternoon on Wednesday, November 20. Britain has approved the use of Storm Shadow missiles in response to Russia’s deployment of North Korean troops, the source said.
Bloomberg also referred to the Russian Telegram channel Rybar, blocked in Ukraine. He wrote that the wreckage of the Storm Shadow was found in the Kursk region, and two more missiles were intercepted. The TV channel “Nastoyaschee Vremya” reported that other Z-channels also announced the use of Storm Shadow: “Dva Mayora”, “Voenny Osvedomitel” and the military correspondent of “Komsomolskaya Pravda” Oleksandr Kots. According to their information, the Armed Forces hit objects in the village of Marino with British missiles. A total of 12 rockets were launched towards the settlement.
The Ukrainian publication Defense Express wrote that “the only logical explanation for spending a fairly significant amount of Storm Shadow / SCALP on such an object is the presence there of the command of the Russian army group in the Kursk region together with North Korean generals.”
- This happened the day after the Russian Ministry of Defense said that Ukraine had used American ATACMS missiles on Russian territory for the first time. The agency said that Bryansk region was attacked by six ballistic missiles.
- On November 20, the US Embassy in Kyiv announced that it will not work due to a possible mass attack by Russia on Ukraine.
