Ukraine struck a Russian chemical plant with Storm Shadow missiles, manufactured in the UK, the Ukrainian army announced on Tuesday.
Describing the strike as a "successful hit" that penetrated the Russian air defense system, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated that they are still assessing the outcome of the "massive combined missile and air attack".
As the echoes of this event continue, news of the strike is rapidly spreading in the media. The atmosphere at the scene is tense, with many people closely following the developments.
The Kremlin is warning the West not to provide Ukraine with weapons capable of long-range attacks, but Kyiv maintains that it is imperative to target Russian facilities that play a key role in Moscow's war against Ukraine. This underscores the increasing escalation of the conflict and raises concerns about its potential expansion.
"The chemical plant in Bryansk is a key facility of the aggressor state's military-industrial complex," said a post by the Ukrainian army on X on Tuesday. This position emphasizes the strategic importance of the plant in the context of the ongoing conflict. The reaction of the international community is awaited with great interest.
