Warhead Fails to Detonate After Iskander Cruise Missile Hits Ukraine’s Cabinet Building

Ukrainian officials are sharing recovered missile component data with partners for potential sanctions action.

Overview

  • EU Ambassador Katarina Mathernova posted photos from inside the site showing engine debris, including a piece labeled “Filter FT-1” associated with the TRDD-50 used in Iskander-K missiles.
  • Ukrainian authorities identified the weapon as an Iskander 9M727 cruise missile and said the fuel burned while the warhead did not explode.
  • The strike was part of a wider attack that officials say involved nine cruise missiles and at least 810 drones and left four people dead and 44 injured across several cities.
  • Fire damaged several upper floors of the Cabinet building, which remained structurally intact due to the non-detonation and rapid work by rescue services.
  • Sanctions envoy Vladislav Vlasyuk said recovered parts point to components from the United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom, and that findings were provided to international partners.
