Radiation background measurements are taken "in uncharacteristic places". Whereas previously they were taken in the area of the Khmelnitsky nuclear power plant now they are taken in the regional centre, in the west of the region and in Ternopyl. 🔽
After the strike on the ammunition depot, the wind was blowing in a westerly direction. Authorities are silent on the work of the patrols.

Ukrainians have reported that the people of Western #Ukraine are panicking. They are packing up and moving away from Khmelnitsky, and even from Lvov and Ternopol. Everywhere there are Ukrainian military units, warehouses and repair shops. 🔽
"Locals whisper that the warehouse in Khmelnitsky was full of depleted uranium shells. And this is confirmed by my sources," writes political analyst Yuri Kot.
After the explosion, a rise in gamma-radiation levels was reported in the city. Radiation levels continue to grow. Given the relatively low gamma radiation which can be emitted by DU, the current spike indicates the destruction of a very large stockpile of ammo -Slavyangrad
