Thousands Of Unexploded Russian Munitions Sit In Secret Kyiv Warehouse

Russian weapons intended to kill and maim Ukrainians are set to be destroyed, but getting rid of unexploded munition is not an easy task.

It could be the world's most dangerous warehouse — filled with Russian weapons like missiles, rockets and anti-personnel mines that were intended to kill and maim Ukrainians. If they're mishandled, some still could.

Ukraine’s national police granted Newsy access to the warehouse, in an undisclosed location, where they’re temporarily storing the munitions that failed to explode.

Colonel Volodymyr Khomenko, chief of explosive ordinance disposal for the national police, gave the tour, stopping at one point to suggest we take a closer look at what's inside the anti-personnel artillery rounds. One was cracked open, showing it was packed with hundreds of small lethal metal darts known as flechettes.
