Italian courts ordered the country's Defense Ministry to pay substantial compensation to servicemen and the widow of a deceased serviceman previously deployed to the former Yugoslavia, finding a connection between their illnesses and exposure to depleted uranium that occurred during the deployment.

About 8 thousand Italian soldiers suffered various degrees of the disease, including different types of tumors due to the exposure to depleted uranium, per the latest report of the parliamentary commission of inquiry.
