OH OH Russia vows to retaliate against US after Ukrainian missile attack on Crimea The Russian defence ministry has claimed Ukraine used US-provided weapons in a strike on Crimea yesterday that killed at least four people and injured 151 more. Five US-supplied Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) were used in the attack, the ministry said. Four were intercepted, while the fifth exploded in mid-air and caused several casualties in a village in Sevastopol. At least two children were killed in the attack, according to Russian officials. Pictures and videos posted online appeared to show people running from a beach near Sevastopol and some of the injured being carried off on sun loungers. Sky News has not verified the images. "All flight missions for the American ATACMS operational-tactical missiles are entered by American specialists based on their own US satellite intelligence data," the ministry claimed in a Telegram post. news.sky.com/story/ukraine-war-latest-russia-putin-12541713

Meanwhile back in EU EU approves plan to use Russian profits for Ukraine The European Union has approved a plan to use €1.4bn (£1.19bn) in profits from frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine. Hungary has previously objected to the proposal, and has said it will legally challenge the decision. But the European Union's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said the EU has found a way to implement the suggestion without needing Hungary's consent (see 9am post). The first tranche of the profits is expected to be available next week. news.sky.com/story/ukraine-war-latest-russia-putin-12541713
