UK sends Ukraine new batch of Storm Shadow cruise missiles

Bloomberg reported the information.

According to the outlet, the UK government recently supplied Ukraine with another batch of Storm Shadow missiles to enable continued long-range strikes on targets inside Russia.

The report notes that London does not disclose the number of missiles delivered to Kyiv and does not regularly provide updates on such transfers.

Sources said the missiles were supplied to ensure Ukraine has sufficient ammunition ahead of the winter period, amid British concerns that Russia may intensify attacks on the civilian population.

• On October 21, Ukraine’s Defense Forces carried out a combined strike, which included the use of Storm Shadow missiles, on the Bryansk chemical plant — a facility that produces fuel for the missiles Russia uses to attack Ukraine.
