Storm Shadow missiles are manufactured by a Franco-British consortium. Russia has in the past summoned the ambassadors of Great Britain and France to protest Ukraine's use of these weapons.
Separately, two people were injured in the southern Russian port city of Taganrog, east of the border with Ukraine, after Russia shot down a missile early Wednesday, Taganrog Mayor Svetlana Kambulova said.
