Ukraine strikes Russia with UK-made missiles for the first time: Report

Live Mint  

The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that its air defense systems successfully intercepted two UK-made Storm Shadow cruise missiles. Despite the Russian ministry's claims, Kremlin refrained from commenting on specific claim that the Storm Shadow missiles were fired from Ukrainian forces, and instead deferred the matter to military officials. Ukrainian accusations: First Intercontinental Ballistic Missile attack Ukraine has accused Russia of launching an intercontinental ballistic missile for the first time since the invasion began in February 2022. Kremlin's response: Avoiding nuclear escalation In response to the missile claims, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov refrained from providing a direct confirmation regarding the ICBM launch, stating he had "nothing to say on this topic." Peskov emphasized Russia's commitment to avoiding nuclear escalation, noting the country’s recent updates to its nuclear doctrine, which now allows for the potential use of nuclear weapons against non-nuclear states.
