Ukraine used Storm Shadow missiles to attack the headquarter of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, according to the Ukrainian Air Force.

"Storm Shadow missiles were used by Ukraine to attack the Black Sea fleet headquarters," said representatives of Ukraine's Air Force.

The decision to supply missiles of British and French production, also known as SCALP, became one of the loudest calls from Western countries for war, amid concerns that long-range weapons could be used on Russian territory.

The United Kingdom and France agreed to supply the missiles in May and July of this year, respectively.
