Volodymyr Trush, head of the Ternopil regional military administration, stated this during the briefing, Espreso reports.

Trush dismissed the claims, stating that no ammunition containing uranium was targeted or detonated. He emphasized that such misinformation is being spread by individuals working for the enemy.

Trush further assured that the ecological situation in the city remains stable, and there is no reason for concern. The pungent smell experienced during the fire was due to the burning of plastic and other chemicals. Ecological measurements conducted after extinguishing the fire confirmed that there is no danger.

Mayor Serhii Nadal added that radiation levels in Ternopil are monitored twice a day, and official websites provide real-time information on environmental measurements. The city's air is reported to be clean and safe.

During the missile attacks on May 13 and 14, videos and photos of the missile hits and explosions circulated on social media. The head of the Ternopil military administration expressed determination to identify and punish individuals who shared these materials, urging people not to provide any information on social networks that could assist the enemy.

The police are actively searching for social media posts related to the consequences of missile strikes in the Ternopil region, and the authors will face consequences.

  • Russian troops launched two rocket attacks on Ternopil, the first occurring around 10:35 p.m. on May 13 and the second at 5:00 a.m. on May 14.

  • Entrepreneurs in Ternopil whose properties were damaged in these attacks will be compensated for their losses.

  • It was later discovered that a warehouse storing humanitarian aid from Christian missions and churches had burned down as a result of the fire following the shelling.

According to him, no ammunition was detonated during the missile threat. In addition, there is no enriched or depleted uranium in Ternopil.

"Now they are spreading fakes about hitting a warehouse with ammunition with depleted and enriched uranium. I officially declare: there was no such hit. It is spread by those who work for the enemy," Trush said.

The head of OVA also stated that the ecological situation in the city is stable, so there is no cause for concern.

"During the fire, there was a pungent smell in the air, because plastic and other chemicals were burning. After extinguishing, ecologists made the appropriate measurements, which showed that there is no danger," said the head of the region.

"During the war, the radiation level is measured online twice a day in Ternopil. This information can be found on official websites. Environmental measurements show that the city has clean, safe air," added Ternopil Mayor Serhii Nadal.

In addition, during the rocket attacks in Ternopil on May 13, 14, videos of the arrivals and photos of the explosions appeared on social networks. .

"We had a flight at 10:35 p.m., at 10:37 p.m. there was already a stream about it on the social network from the side of the pond. Young people shouted in the background that this is what we need. Believe me, we will definitely find them and they will be punished for it. There were many videos of the arrivals. Please show all these materials. Do not help the enemy, do not leak any information on social networks. This will be considered as a correction of fire, nothing else," emphasized the head of the Ternopil OVA.

The police are already looking for publications on social networks about the consequences of the arrival of rockets in Ternopil region, their authors will be brought to justice.
