Ukraine Strikes Russian Command Center With Western Missiles in Historic First

Ukraine uses British Storm Shadow missiles to target a Russian-North Korean command center in Kursk as the war surpasses 1,000 days.

  • Ukraine launched British Storm Shadow missiles into Russia for the first time, targeting a command center in Kursk reportedly involving Russian and North Korean forces.
  • The strikes follow U.S. approval for Ukraine to use long-range ATACMS missiles, signaling a shift in Western support for deeper strikes into Russian territory.
  • Russia confirmed the use of Storm Shadow missiles, with its air defense claiming to have intercepted two, while Ukraine has not officially verified the operation.
  • The attacks come as Russia deploys over 10,000 North Korean troops to the Kursk region, escalating the conflict and prompting warnings from Moscow of potential retaliation.
  • The U.S. announced a $275 million aid package for Ukraine, including drones, ammunition, and anti-personnel landmines, as President Biden pushes to bolster Ukraine’s position before a potential Trump administration shift in policy.
