A top Russian general, along with 500 North Korean soldiers, have allegedly been killed by British Storm Shadow missiles in a devastating attack.
The strike launched by Ukraine on November 20 wiped out Lt-Gen Valery Solodchuk and also resulted with 18 Putin officers reported lost, with a further 18 wounded, it has been claimed.
Earlier reports suggested that a Kim Jong-un general had also been left injured in the attack as he commanded troops backing Vladimir Putin’s Ukraine invasion.
The strike carried out by Ukraine was the first time UK Storm Shadow missiles had been used blast targets deep inside Russia.
It is understood that the pinpoint missiles had hit a Putin command post and military facility with the scale of Russian losses now alleged to be enormous.
Russian authorities have not yet confirmed losses which would be grievous to both Russia and North Korea if confirmed, and the reports are yet to be independently verified.
The Storm Shadows were targeted on November 20 at an underground military facility in Maryino on a Tsarist estate, in Kursk region.
New footage shows a Storm Shadow missile involved in the attack as it flew towards its target, it is claimed.
Moscow has threatened that the use by Ukraine of NATO-supplied missiles meant Putin could legitimately hit back with nuclear missiles.
