Ukraine’s intelligence agency alleges Russian forces are creating an anthrax outbreak risk in occupied Kherson by improperly burying infected livestock. Authorities warn that these burial sites, particularly near residential areas and water sources, could lead to widespread contamination. Kyiv accuses Russia of potentially engaging in “biological terrorism” and suggests the possibility of a staged incident to falsely accuse Ukraine of using biological weapons. The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine believes this could be a “false-flag” operation intended to deflect blame. The improper disposal of infected animals raises serious public health concerns for the region. This accusation marks a significant escalation in rhetoric regarding biological warfare risks amid the ongoing conflict. Ukraine is calling for international attention to the dangerous situation unfolding in Kherson.
