MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russian air defense prevented Ukraine's attempt to attack Crimea using eight Storm Shadow cruise missiles, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Monday.
"On October 30, at about 13:00 Moscow time [10:00 GMT], Kiev's attempt to attack Crimean peninsula with eight Storm Shadow cruise missiles was prevented. As a result of repelling the attack by the air defense systems on duty, all missiles were shot down," the ministry said.
The Storm Shadow cruise missile is on display during the Paris Air Show in Le Bourget, north of Paris, France, Monday, June 19, 2023. France will deliver deep-strike missiles to Ukraine as part of increased efforts to help with the Ukrainian counteroffensive against Russian forces, President Emmanuel Macron said Tuesday July 11, 2023 at the NATO summit in Vilnius. France has been weighing whether to send Scalp missiles, the equivalent of the British Storm Shadow missiles, to Ukraine.  - Sputnik International, 1920, 21.09.2023

Russian Air Defense Downs 5 Storm Shadow Missiles, 75 Ukrainian Drones in Past Day
Earlier, Kiev used Storm Shadow missiles, supplied to Ukraine from the United Kingdom, to attack the headquarters of Russia’s Black Sea fleet in Sevastopol.
Ukraine has been sending drones and missiles into Russian territory almost daily since it launched a counteroffensive in early June. The United Nations said in August, after a botched drone strike on Moscow, that it did not want to see civilian infrastructure targeted.
