The deaths of five Russian scientists who were killed in a nuclear explosion in August were working on developing an advanced weapon, said Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“We’re talking about the most advanced and unparalleled technical ideas and solutions, about weapons designed to ensure Russia’s sovereignty and security for decades to come,” Putin told the victims’ relatives on Friday during a ceremony in Moscow, reported the Moscow Times.
