Ukraine plans to hit Moscow with newly-developed long-range missiles, official claims

• Kyiv has had to turn to the development of its own long-range missiles
• Allies supplying munitions stipulated they can only be used within Ukraine

Ukraine is planning to strike Moscow with newly-developed long-range missiles, one of the country's officials has claimed.

An official in the war-torn country said they planned to eventually hit the Russian capital - over 520 miles (840km) away from Ukraine's border - as well as other targets inside Russia.

Kyiv has had to turn to the development of its own long-range missiles after allied nations supplying munitions stipulated that they could not be used outside of Ukraine's territory.

Ukraine now plans to use its own adapted Neptune anti-ship missiles to strike territory inside Russia.

It comes after Ukraine last week detonated an adapted subsonic Neptune missile in Crimea, destroying Russian air defence missiles in a giant explosion that also took out Russian troops.

The new missile is now designed to hit ground targets, with modifications including changes to its GPS system and a vastly extended range.

Last week's attack using the modified Neptune missile struck a Russian S-400 air defense system in the west of the occupied peninsular, a Ukrainian official told War Zone.
