Great Britain-manufactured Storm Shadow cruise missiles destroyed a major command and communications center in Russia-occupied territory of Ukraine’s eastern Luhansk region, a General Staff official statement said on Monday. Ukrainian bombers launched the attack, sending the high-tech NATO-standard weapons to score multiple hits on the headquarters, the statement said. Ukrainian media reported impacts at around 7 p.m. local time. Luhansk occupation authorities, along with the Russian military, had not, by afternoon on Tuesday, commented on the strikes. Ukrainian military unit channels monitored by Kyiv Post confirmed the fact of a Storm Shadow strike hitting a headquarters somewhere in Luhansk region, but none contained precise information about the location, exact target or damage caused.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official.
