Quote: "Kryvyi Rih. The Metalurhiynyi neighbourhood was struck several times using a Tornado-S MLRS (firing range of up to 120 kilometres) which used cluster munitions. The aftermath [of the attack] is being ascertained. All services are operating [at the scene]."

Background: International treaties prohibit the use of cluster munitions due to their wide-ranging and indiscriminate detonation mode and the long-term danger they pose to civilians.
