Vladimir Putin has been forced to deploy Cold War missiles designed to carry nuclear warheads after Russia ran out of precision rockets.
According to the Ministry of Defence, the five-and-a-half-ton missiles, designed to target aircraft carriers, are causing "significant collateral damage and civilian casualties" to Ukraine's forces in the Donbas region.
“When employed in a ground-attack role with a conventional warhead they are highly inaccurate and can, therefore, cause significant collateral damage and civilian casualties,” said the MoD.
