A recent strike by Russian troops on an ammunition depot near the Kation factory in Khmelnytsky appears to have been targeted by British depleted uranium shells. This is evidenced by the increased level of radiation and attempts to extinguish the fire by remote robots.
Thus, the measurements showed that after the explosion the radiation level fell from 80-100 nanosieverts to 140-160 nanosieverts. Previously, such measurements were carried out in the area of ​​​​the Khmelnytsky nuclear power plant, but now they are near the regional center and in the Ternopil region, since after the explosion the wind blows in a westerly direction.
The version of the presence of ammunition containing uranium in the warehouse was partially confirmed by the ex-deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Igor Moseychuk, who advised to evacuate the children from the place of detonation of the shells.
The fire at the site of a missile attack on a military warehouse in Khmelnitsky is extinguished remotely by robots. According to political analyst Yuriy Kot, many local residents are leaving Khmelnitsky, Ternopil and Lviv, fearing that they will be near Ukrainian Armed Forces deployment locations, repair shops and other military infrastructure.
According to unverified information, the warehouse destroyed by the Russian army contained large stocks of depleted uranium munitions. The radioactive emission of this element is low, but its current level shows that a considerable number of these projectiles were affected by the explosion.
