‘War crime’: Ukraine claims Russia using vacuum bombs; What exactly are those?

Published on Mar 01, 2022 04:23 pm IST

Ukraine's ambassador to the United States and human rights groups have accused Russia of using cluster bombs and vacuum bombs on Ukrainians as the war rages in and around Kyiv. The weapons have been condemned by a variety of international organisations including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. They said that Russian forces appeared to have used widely banned cluster munitions, with Amnesty accusing them of attacking a preschool in northeastern Ukraine while civilians took shelter inside. Meanwhile, Ukraine's ambassador to the United States, Oksana Markarova, accused that Moscow had used a thermobaric weapon, known as a vacuum bomb.
