Storm Shadow cruise missile is on display during the Paris Air Show in Le Bourget, north of Paris, France

Ukraine has fired the UK’s storm shadow missiles into Russian territory for the first time, reports claim.

A Western official familiar with the matter told Bloomberg that the UK had approved of the strikes in response to Russia deploying North Korean troops to fight in the Ukraine war.

The UK has not officially announced it has given Kyiv permission to use these weapons – which have a range of up to 155 miles – into Russia.
