Ukrainian forces launched British-French Storm Shadow cruise missiles at Russian troops advancing towards the key city of Pokrovsk in eastern Ukraine. Drone footage revealed strikes on Russian command centres in the Donetsk region, where Russian forces recently captured Vuhledar and Verkhnokamianske. Ukrainian officials confirmed the missile strikes aimed to disrupt Russia’s offensive, which has seen increasing troop and equipment deployment. The UK and France supplied the Storm Shadow/Scalp missiles. Meanwhile, Ukraine continues urging the West to permit longer-range missile use against targets within Russia itself.
