Currently, there are no recorded cases of using of the corresponding missiles. However, the CNR urges Ukrainians to promptly respond to alerts, as the enemy disrespects international law and is ready to use lethal weapons against civilians.

We should note that cluster munitions are: shells, missiles or bombs consisting of containers that open in the air, dispersing many small caliber bombs over a large area. Depending on the modification they are designed to target both - manpower, armored vehicles and fortifications. In addition, a large number of submunitions don't always explode, but remain where they landed. They can explode at any moment, "waiting" for their time even decades.

Recall that on Tuesday, January 2, during Russia's massive attack Air Forces of Ukraine destroyed 10 out of 10 aeroballistic missiles Kh-47M2 "Kinzhal", 59 out of 70 cruise missiles Kh-101 / Kh-555 / Kh-55 and 3 cruise missiles "Kalibr". In addition, Air Defense Forces destroyed all of 35 strike UAVs
