Ukraine has fired UK-made Storm Shadow missiles into Russia a day after launching long-range American ATACMS missiles, raising fears of a major escalation in the nearly three-year war.
The Ukrainian leader has been pressing his Western allies to allow the use of the ATACMS, or Army Tactical Missile System, amid military gains by Russian forces in recent months.
Russia has warned that Ukraine's use of long-range missiles to strike inside Russian territory could result in an escalation.
On Thursday, the Ukrainian air force said Moscow fired an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) into its territory. But Moscow has yet to confirm the claim.
