Ukraine has hit a Russian chemical plant with Storm Shadow missiles, its military said on Tuesday, referring to the UK-made long-range weapon.
Calling the strike “a successful hit” that penetrated the Russian air defence system, Ukraine’s general staff of the armed forces said they were still assessing the outcome of the “massive” strike.
Hours later Russia launched a heavy drone and missile attack on several Ukrainian regions, leaving six people dead, including two children, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Emergency power outages were in place in Kyiv itself as well as the Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions, and reports said Russia had targeted thermal power plants.
