Ukraine's government reported that Russia launched drones carrying warheads containing around 10 kg of enriched uranium each toward Kyiv during its latest overnight attacks, according to the source. The claim could not be independently verified.
Ukraine's government accused Russia of launching drones carrying nuclear warheads containing enriched uranium toward Kyiv, according to a report carried by the source. The claim, which could not be independently verified, would mark a significant escalation if confirmed.
The report comes amid ongoing Russian strikes on Ukrainian cities. Previous reports have documented Russia's use of drones with depleted uranium warheads in the Chernihiv region, as reported by Ukraine's Security Service earlier this month. The current allegation involves enriched uranium, which can be used in nuclear weapons, unlike depleted uranium which is a byproduct.
The Ukrainian government has not issued an official statement on the record, and the claim remains unverified by independent sources. The scale of the reported attack and any interception or casualty details are not yet available.
