The UN nuclear watchdog says it has seen no indications of “undeclared nuclear activities” at three locations in Ukraine during visits at Kyiv’s request to address “dirty bomb” allegations made by Russia.

“Our technical and scientific evaluation of the results we have so far did not show any sign of undeclared nuclear activities and materials at these three locations,” the International Atomic Energy Agency’s chief Rafael Grossi says in a statement.
