Cluster bombs can harm Ukrainians long after the shelling has stopped

There have been multiple verified reports that Russia is using cluster munitions in its war on Ukraine from sources including the New York Times, Human Rights Watch, Bellingcat, and Amnesty International, and as the conflict continues, the number of confirmed uses of cluster munitions is likely to grow. One struck near a hospital in Vuhledar in the Donetsk Oblast (province) on February 24, killing four civilians and injuring another 10 people, including six healthcare workers. Another landed on a nursery and kindergarten in Okhtyrka, in northeastern Ukraine, on February 25 killing three civilians, including a child.
