Six people were killed and 42 injured after British-made Storm Shadow missiles hit the city, according to local officials
A Ukrainian strike on the Russian city of Bryansk using UK-made long-range Storm Shadow missiles would have been impossible without the direct involvement of British experts, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.
The regional governor, Aleksandr Bogomaz, said the attack on Tuesday killed six people and injured 42, slamming the bombardment as an "inhumane terrorist act." He later confirmed that the strike had involved an unspecified number of Storm Shadow missiles, which have a range of up to 560 km. Bryansk is located just over 100 km from the Ukrainian border.
Local media reports have suggested that the attack targeted civilian infrastructure.
Commenting on the strike on Wednesday, Peskov said the type of missiles "couldn't have been launched without British specialists. We understand that perfectly well. We are fully aware, and of course we take it into account."
He added that the strikes again show the necessity of the continued military campaign against Ukraine, as its success will ensure that "these barbaric actions by the Kiev regime don't continue."
"One of the goals is to demilitarize Kiev and strip it of the ability to carry out attacks like this," Peskov stressed.
