Russian military forces have used cluster munitions — a highly controversial weapon banned by many countries — against at least two civilian targets in Ukraine, according to humanitarian organizations.
Black smoke rises from a military airport in Chuhuiv, near Kharkiv, Ukraine, on Thursday. Humanitarian organizations say Russian forces are using cluster munitions in their bombing and shelling of Ukraine.
Once fired, cluster munitions open in midair and rain down dozens or even hundreds of smaller submunitions, or"bomblets," over a large area the size of one or more football fields. "I was on the first floor of our two-story building. I heard a loud explosion outside. We ran into the hallway. Luckily, we didn't have many patients," said Natalia Sosyura, the hospital's chief doctor, according to Human Rights Watch."We all fell to the floor."
