The use of cluster munitions is prohibited by international law, the international organization stressed.
Russian troops fired on Kharkiv using illicit cluster munitions and unmanned rockets. On Sunday, June 12, Amnesty International reported.
They noticed that their use against the civilian population was a war crime.
For 14 days in April and May, employees of the organization studied the circumstances of 41 Russian strikes in Kharkov, as a result of which 62 people were killed and 196 people were injured. According to the head of the medical department of the military-civilian administration of Kharkiv, 606 residents of Kharkiv died during the war, 1248 were wounded.
Representatives of the organization during this period interviewed 160 residents of Kharkiv, including the victims of the shelling, their witnesses, relatives of the victims, as well as doctors treating the injured; collected and analyzed evidence at the site of the bombing, analyzed various digital media. As a result, AI has documented at least 28 cases of indiscriminate strikes in Russian cities. At this time
The organization’s report states that Amnesty International has found fragments of 9N210/9N235 cluster munitions in Kharkiv. Investigators also found several chips in the ground consistent with the expected 9N210/9N235 cluster ammo mark.
Doctors from two hospitals in Kharkiv also showed Amnesty International researchers the pellets they had seized from victims of the cluster munitions attack.
Ammunition clusters are a container that contains dozens of submunitions. They are scattered at a given height above the ground. A high percentage of submunitions do not explode on impact, and thus effectively become landmines.
As a result of the missile attack in Chertkivshchyna, Ternopil region, no one was killed in the night, but there were wounded.
Earlier it was reported that in Lisichansk, Lugansk region, a six -year -old child was killed as a result of being shot by Russians on Sunday.
