Ukraine war: Kyiv displays dud nuclear-capable missile fired by Russia

At a briefing on Thursday in Ukraine's capital Kyiv, military official Mykola Danyliuk showed reporters what he described as fragments of X-55 cruise missiles found in the Lviv and Khmelnytsky regions.

He said the projectiles were designed in Soviet times to hit "strategic targets with predetermined co-ordinates".However, it is believed the Russian military removed the nuclear warheads from the missiles fired at Ukraine and replaced them with an inert system. Mr Danyliuk stressed that even a missile armed with a non-explosive warhead "posed a significant danger" because of its kinetic energy and fuel residues.Testing indicated "no contact [of the missile] with nuclear elements", he added.

On Thursday, an air alert was briefly in place across all of Ukraine - with the exception of the Russian-annexed southern Crimea peninsula - after reports that Russian war planes may be preparing to carry out a fresh wave of missile strikes. The alert was later discontinued.

Ukraine's nuclear operator sacked the acting chief engineer of the Russian-seized Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station, accusing him of treason and collaboration with the Kremlin

Because Ukraine is such a believable source 🤣
