Ukraine Studies the Debris from Russia's New Ballistic Missile

Ukraine says the missile reached speed of 13,000 kph

Ukrainian investigators are studying the debris of a new Russian intermediate-range ballistic missile that was fired at the city of Dnipro on Thursday, the first time such a powerful weapon has been used in the war.

On Sunday, Reuters was among a small group of reporters given access to the wreckage of the missile. Reporters were asked not disclose the exact location of the site for security reasons.

The scorched and crumbled pieces of debris were laid out in a hanger at a facility which conducts weapons forensics. Ukrainian experts study such debris to gain insight into Russian military supply chains, production and how to develop counter-measures.
