The Kremlin said on Wednesday it was clear that British specialists were involved in a deadly Ukrainian strike on the Russian city of Bryansk using British Storm Shadow missiles.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov added that Russia's "special military operation" would continue to prevent what he called such "barbaric" attacks.

A Ukrainian attack on Tuesday using Storm Shadow missiles on Bryansk killed at least six people and injured 37 more.

Ukraine said it had struck a key plant producing missile components. Russia said Kyiv had targetted civilians.
