Russia’s military confirmed Ukraine used British-supplied Storm Shadow missiles to strike Russian territory for the first time on Wednesday, reportedly targeting a command center in Kursk.

Local forces claimed 12 missiles were launched, hitting a 19th-century estate used as a communications hub.

The missiles, capable of reaching 250 km, were initially restricted to Ukrainian territory when delivered by the U.K. in 2023, The Moscow Times has reported.
