Kyiv says it hit Russian military command post with the British Storm Shadow cruise missile, a day after it fired US missiles.

Ukraine's armed forces fired British cruise missiles at military targets inside Russia for the first time, a Western official familiar with the matter said, as the 1,000-day conflict enters a new phase.

Ukraine has launched UK-supplied storm shadow missiles into Russia for the first time, reports suggest.

On Tuesday, Ukraine for the first time fired U.S. ballistic missiles into Russia, striking a munitions depot supporting the invasion of the smaller nation.

President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday formally lowered the threshold for Russia’s use of its nuclear weapons, a move that follows U.S. President Joe Biden’s decision to let Ukraine strike targets inside Russian territory with American-supplied longer-range missiles. The new doctrine allows for a potential nuclear response by Moscow even to a conventional attack on Russia by any nation that is supported by a nuclear power. Russia’s Defense Ministry said Ukraine fired six U.S.-made ATACMS missiles early Tuesday at a military facility in Russia's Bryansk region that borders Ukraine, adding that air defenses shot down five of them and damaged one more.

President Vladimir Putin may have lowered his threshold for a nuclear strike, but he is unlikely to respond in this way to Ukraine’s first ballistic missile attack inside Russia, says international security expert Stefan Wolff.
