Renat Karchaa, a spokesman for Rosenergoatom, a subsidiary of Russian state nuclear energy corporation Rosatom, said on Tuesday that Kiev is scheming plans to carry out an attack on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant (ZNPP) on July 5, and will do so using high-precision weapons and drones.

"Today we received information that I am authorized to talk about... On July 5, literally at night in the dark, the Ukrainian armed forces will try to attack the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant using high-precision long-range means and unmanned kamikaze aircraft," Karchaa said on air of Rossiya 24 broadcaster.

The official added that Kiev's forces plan to use ammunition loaded with radioactive waste removed from the South Ukraine NPP on July 3.

Depleted uranium has been used frequently by NATO allies in various conflicts in the past.

For instance, the UK used depleted uranium in Iraq and Yugoslavia. According to the UN, the US used approximately 300 tonnes of depleted Uranium in Iraq.

Dutch peace group PAX indicated that the US fired depleted uranium on civilians and troops in Iraq.

The group highlighted that more than 3000 sites in Iraq were contaminated by depleted uranium, with an expected cost of approximately $30m to clear up the contamination.

Furthermore, prominent doctors and scientists in Iraq pointed out that the use of depleted uranium and other military-related pollution caused a sharp rise in congenital birth defects, cancer cases, and other illnesses.
