The United States has resumed deliveries of certain weapons to Ukraine, Reuters and the Associated Press reported, citing unnamed sources.

According to the reports, the shipments include 155-millimeter artillery shells and precision-guided GMLRS rockets, which are used with HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems.

Reuters noted that it remains unclear why the deliveries were limited to munitions and rockets, or whether other types of weaponry will follow.

Earlier this month, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a pause in certain weapons deliveries, reportedly to assess the Pentagon’s stockpiles. The pause affected 30 Patriot air defense missiles, more than 250 GMLRS rockets, 142 Hellfire missiles, and over 8,000 artillery shells.

After reports of the pause surfaced in the media, President Donald Trump said he would send additional weapons to Ukraine, prioritizing defensive systems. A White House source told the Associated Press on July 9 that there had been no formal “pause” in deliveries, but rather a review to ensure U.S. military aid aligned with the country’s defense strategy.
