 Russia's Defence Ministry said on Saturday that Ukrainian aircraft had struck two industrial sites in the Russian-held city of Luhansk in eastern Ukraine with storm-shadow long-range cruise missiles supplied by Britain. Britain on Thursday became the first country to say it had started supplying Kiev with long-range cruise missiles, which will allow it to hit Russian troops and supply dumps far behind the front lines as it prepares a major counter-offensive. The Russian Ministry said the missiles had hit a plant producing polymers and a meat-processing factory in Luhansk on Friday. Storm-shadow air-to-air missiles supplied to the Kiev regime by Britain were used for the strike, contrary to London's statements that these weapons would not be used against civilian targets, the Ministry said. It also said Russia had downed two Ukrainian warplanes and Su-24 and a MiG-29 that had launched the missiles. In its latest bulletin, the Ministry also said Russian forces had gained control over another block in the eastern city of Bakhmut, which Moscow has been trying to capture for more than 10 months in an attritional artillery battle.
