Russia shoots down eight British-made Storm Shadow missiles
Russia is reporting that it shot down eight British-made Storm Shadow missiles in service with the Ukrainian army over the past 24 hours, Interfax news agency reports, citing the Russian defence ministry.
Russia also hit a railway hub used for transferring weapons and military equipment to Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region, the ministry added.
What are Storm Shadow missiles?
Storm Shadows are cruise missiles developed by the UK and France in the 1990s.
Launched from aircraft, they have a range of more than 155 miles, manufacturer MBDA says, and can travel at speeds exceeding 600mph.
They have been used by the RAF and French air force and in the Gulf, Iraq and Libya, and more recently have been used by Ukrainian forces.
Back in May 2023, the UK government announced it would provide Ukraine with Storm Shadow missiles - the first country to do so.
