Russia Warns of Strikes on UK Targets Over Missile Use
· World · Al Jazeera, The Independent
Russia has threatened to strike British military targets both inside and outside Ukraine if Kyiv continues using UK-supplied long-range cruise missiles against Russian territory. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated that London is nearing legal complicity in what she termed terrorism against Russian civilians. This warning follows Moscow's accusation that Ukraine used British Storm Shadow missiles to attack a shopping centre in the Russian-controlled city of Donetsk. Meanwhile, Russia launched a widespread missile and drone assault on Ukrainian infrastructure, resulting in at least one death in Kharkiv and damage to a school in Kyiv.
