Ukraine lands direct hit on Putin’s war factory producing components for deadly ballistic warheads– www.thesun.co.uk

UKRAINE hit a Russian war factory yesterday using British-made Storm Shadow missiles.

The key complex in Oryol produced components for the deadly ballistic warheads unleashed on Kyiv this week.

The strike on the Proton-Electrotex facility caused a massive fireball and comes after the UK agreed to send more bunker-busters to Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Kyiv’s access to Elon Musk‘s Starlink and Starshield satellite internet network have been fully restored.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said speed restrictions imposed on drones using the votal SpaceX technology had been lifted.

Mr Zelensky said: “Now we have the speed we need.

“This is very important; it is significant for our frontline logistics and for protecting Ukraine from jet-powered Shahed drones.”

It comes after US First Lady Melania Trump brokered a temporary ceasefire deal to open up evacuation routes for residents trapped in an occupied Ukrainian city.

She led round-the-clock negotiations to secure a localised truce after harrowing reports of a major humanitarian crisis in Oleshky.

Up to 6,000 residents, including hundreds of kids, have been left on the brink of starvation after months without food deliveries.

There is next to no electricity, gas or running water and some have been forced to eat grass and garden weeds.

Medical supplies have run out and hospitals are barely functioning amid daily shelling, drone threats and heavily mined roads.

The ceasefire is due to begin on Tuesday at 4am local time. It is unclear how long it will last.
