Ukraine says UK-made Storm Shadow missiles joined its long mission to destroy Russia's war machine from the rear

"Ukraine officially said on Tuesday that it used Storm Shadow missiles to strike a production facility in Russia, adding the Western-made advanced munition to its arsenal against the Kremlin's key war industries. The Ukrainian General Staff of the Armed Forces wrote on Telegram that it had conducted a "massive combined missile and air strike" on the Bryansk Chemical Plant in southern Russia, a facility that manufactures gunpowder, explosives, and rocket fuel components."

"It added that the salvo included air-launched Storm Shadows, subsonic cruise missiles jointly developed by France and the UK that can carry a 1,000-pound explosive payload. "The Defense Forces of Ukraine continue to strike strategic facilities of the military-industrial complex on the territory of the Russian Federation, thereby weakening the offensive potential of the aggressor state," the post said. Ukrainian officials said the results of the strikes were "being assessed.""

Ukraine reported using Storm Shadow cruise missiles in a strike on the Bryansk Chemical Plant in southern Russia, a facility producing gunpowder, explosives, and rocket-fuel components. The Ukrainian General Staff described the attack as a massive combined missile and air strike that included air-launched Storm Shadows. Russia's defense ministry said it destroyed dozens of Ukrainian drones over Bryansk and did not confirm Storm Shadow detection. Local officials reported fixed-wing drone strikes, power-substation damage, and missile alerts. The attack forms part of intensified deep strikes aimed at weakening Russia's offensive and war-industry capabilities, while independent verification of some footage remains unavailable.
