Thu Nov 21 04:43:37 UTC 2024: ## Ukraine Launches Major Missile Strike on Russia Using British Missiles

**Kyiv, Ukraine** – Ukraine has launched a significant missile attack on Russian territory using British Storm Shadow cruise missiles, escalating the ongoing conflict. This follows a recent Ukrainian attack using US-supplied ATACMS missiles, marking a significant expansion of Western weaponry used against Russia.

The attack, reported by Russian war correspondents on Telegram, reportedly involved multiple missiles targeting the Kursk region. Videos circulating online show large plumes of black smoke rising in the distance. While Russia claims to have intercepted most of the missiles, the scale of the attack represents a new level of escalation.

Moscow condemned the attack, stating that the use of Western weapons to strike deep within Russian territory invites a major escalation of the conflict. Ukraine, however, argues that it requires such capabilities to defend itself against Russian aggression.

The UK had previously authorized Ukraine to use Storm Shadow missiles, which have a range exceeding 250km. This attack follows the recent approval from the US for Ukraine to use ATACMS missiles. This decision by the US and UK, allowing the use of these long-range weapons, has raised concerns about the potential for further escalation of the war.

The Kremlin has expressed outrage at the use of Western weapons in the attack, while Kyiv maintains that it needs these weapons to defend itself effectively. The incident represents a significant turning point in the conflict, adding to existing tensions and fueling fears of further escalation. The ongoing conflict has now entered its 1000th day.
