New York, March 11, (dpa/GNA) – The United Nations says it has received “credible reports” of Russia using cluster bombs in Ukraine.
Rosemary Dicarlo, a UN representative for political affairs, spoke of “credible reports of Russian forces using cluster munitions, including in populated areas.”
These “indiscriminate attacks,” which strike military objectives as well as civilians “without distinction,” are prohibited under international humanitarian law, she said.
The UN is also aware of 26 attacks on health facilities in Ukraine in which 12 people died, including an attack on a clinic in the city of Mariupol.
