SBU: Russian missiles used depleted-uranium warheads in Ukraine attack

Ukraine’s Security Service says an R-60 missile, used on a modified Geran-2 drone in an April attack on Chernihiv Oblast, contained depleted-uranium projectiles (U-235 and U-238). Gamma radiation levels near the unexploded warhead were measured at about 12 micro-Sieverts per hour. The SBU recovered the warhead and moved it to a radioactive-waste facility, citing the health hazards of depleted uranium and warning citizens to avoid debris. Investigators have opened a pre-trial war-crimes probe under Article 438, overseen by the Chernihiv regional prosecutor.
