Russian media reported citing the source: "Experts from the Southern Machinery Manufacturing Plant of Ukraine have made a copy of the Russian Iskander missile , planning to fill the missile's cluster warhead with radioactive material, and then the Ukrainian air defense forces 'shoot down' it over the Chernobyl nuclear power plant restricted area, claiming that Russia fired a 'dirty bomb'." He added that the imitation "Iskander missile" was made on the basis of the missile body of the "Dound-U" missile system.

Russian Satellite News Agency previously quoted sources as saying that the heads of the eastern mining and mineral processing plants located in the town of Zovtivodi in Dnepropetrovsk Prefecture, Ukraine and the heads of the Kiev Nuclear Research Institute have been commissioned to create such "dirty bombs". The purpose of the "provocation" campaign is to accuse Russia of using weapons of mass destruction in special military operations and launch a "global anti-Russian campaign" aimed at undermining trust in Russia.
Russian Defense Minister Shoigu recently spoke with the defense ministers of the United States, Britain, France and Türkiye to express concerns that "Ukraine may use 'dirty bombs' to provoke." The United States, Britain and France then said in a joint statement: "Our country has made it clear that we all oppose Russia's obvious wrong allegations that Ukraine is preparing to use 'dirty bombs' on its territory." The statement also stated: "The world will see through any attempt to use this allegation as an excuse to escalate conflict." Ukrainian President Zelensky said: "If Russia calls and says Ukraine is allegedly preparing to do something, it only means one thing: Russia itself is ready to do all this."
According to Reuters , the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Monday that at the request of Kiev, the agency is ready to send inspectors to Ukraine in the next few days. On the 25th, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kureba said on Twitter: "I expected the International Atomic Energy Agency experts to arrive soon and prove that Ukraine has neither a 'dirty bomb' nor a plan to develop a 'dirty bomb'."
According to the Russian Issue, Russia asked UN Security Council to discuss the issue of Ukraine's preparation to use "dirty bombs" to provoke. Russia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Nebianjia wrote a letter to the UN Secretary-General Guterres 2 on the 24th, calling for every effort to prevent "this heinous crime" because it may cause serious consequences and a large number of casualties among residents. The letter said that Moscow would regard the use of the "dirty bomb" of the Kiev regime as an act of nuclear terrorism, and said that the provocation may have been carried out by Ukraine with the support of Western country .
