Putin ‘nuke dummy’ is shot down

A RUSSIAN missile downed over Kyiv was built to carry a nuclear payload, Ukraine says.

Instead, a nuclear warhead dummy was installed on the Kh-55 rocket which was shot down on Thursday.

Officials said: “They took at least one missile from their nuclear arsenal, unscrewed the warhead and replaced it with a dummy.”
