Description:

Ukraine has fired UK-supplied Storm Shadow missiles at targets inside Russia for the first time, the BBC understands.

The war-torn country was previously restricted to using the long-range missiles within its own borders.

Reports of the strikes come after Ukraine was given permission from Washington to fire US-supplied missiles at Russian territory.

The government has refused to comment on the reports for operational reasons, but officials confirmed Defence Secretary John Healey spoke to his Ukrainian counterpart on Tuesday night.
