The ongoing fierce war between Russia and Ukraine has now reached an even more dangerous turn. After getting the green signal from US President Joe Biden, Ukraine has launched a strong attack on Russia using American and British long-range missiles. After the use of American ‘ATACMS’ missile, Ukraine attacked Russian areas on Wednesday with ‘Storm Shadow’ missiles received from Britain. This is the first time Ukraine has directly targeted military targets inside Russia.
Expansion of war: explosions in the Kursk region
According to local reports, 14 big explosions were heard one after the other in the Kursk region of Russia. Local citizens said that plumes of black smoke were seen rising from these explosions. These attacks took place close to the Ukrainian border, causing a stir in Russia.
Storm Shadow Missile: A Deadly Weapon
‘Storm Shadow’ is a modern cruise missile, jointly developed by Britain and France. Its long range makes it suitable for attacks in a vast area like Russia. However, Ukraine’s Defense Minister Rustam Umerov declined to confirm or deny the missile attacks.
“We will use all means to protect our country,” Umerov said. We will not go into details, but it is certain that we are capable of giving a befitting reply to every attack.”
Zelensky’s anger increased with North Korea’s army
Meanwhile, news has also emerged that North Korea’s army has entered the war to help Russia. The news of North Korean troops being deployed on the Russian front has made Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky more aggressive. Analysts believe that this is the reason why Ukraine is now using missiles more aggressively than before.
Awaiting Russia’s response
There has been no official statement yet from Russian President Vladimir Putin on these attacks. However, experts believe that Putin will not delay in responding to these attacks. Given Russia’s military strength and strategy, this war is likely to take an even more deadly turn.
Ukraine’s strategy: counter-attack or defensive move?
Experts say that this step of Ukraine is not only a retaliatory attack, but it is also an attempt to send a message to Russia that it is not weak on the battlefield. The Ukrainian army has made it clear that it can go to any extent to protect its borders and retaliate.
