Ukraine news – live: Senior Russian general killed in airstrike with British Storm Shadow missile
A high-ranking Russian general has been killed in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia in an airstrike carried out using British-supplied Storm Shadow missiles, according to multiple reports from both sides. Lieutenant General Oleg Tsokov was among the Russian military commanders present in the Dune hotel when a barrage of cruise missiles struck the southern region. Russia’s defence ministry did not immediately confirm the death but it has been reported by the country’s tightly-controlled state media. An aid to the Ukrainian mayor of Mariupol, Petro Andriushchenko, wrote on his Telegram channel: “It is reported that today in the Berdiansk area, the Russian Lieutenant General Oleg Yuriyovych Tsokov was liquidated.” In September last year the same general was gravely wounded on the battlefield but survived, the mayor said. A member of Ukraine’s parliament, Yurii Mysyagin, said that the “the British ‘Storm Shadow’ came to visit accurately”. This comes as a senior Russian general who was leading Moscow’s forces in Zaporizhzhia said he was suddenly dismissed from his position after he accused the military leadership of betraying his troops with a lack of support.
