US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan announcing US to supply cluster bombs to Ukraine
According to a report, "Ukraine has targeted a village in Russia's Belgorod region with cluster munitions." [1]
The governor of the region wrote early Saturday, "three cluster munitions were employed by the Kiev forces during a large-scale attack on the settlement" along with "21 artillery shells and ten mortar rounds as well as a single kamikaze drone."
He said there were no casualties although "smaller artillery, mortar and drone attacks targeted at least a dozen other settlements in the Belgorod region the same day".
Early this month the US authorized the delivery of cluster munitions to Ukraine.
Meanwhile "a Ukrainian drone strike has resulted in an explosion at an ammunition depot in the central part of Crimean peninsula [2] according to the local governor. No casualties were reported though the nearby population was evacuated to a safer location.
Earlier this week the Ukrainian's used a drone strike on the Crimean Bridge damaging a section of the roadway killing a married couple and injuring their daughter.
As we know, according to multiple reports in the US media, the long awaited Ukrainian counter-offensive begun in early June has not advanced during multiple attacks on Russian military positions.
These reports indicate Ukraine has lost thousands of troops, tanks and other heavy armor destroyed during the counter-offensive.
Maybe the Ukrainian's have changed tactics as the counter-offensive has stalled and decided to attack Russian regions with longer range munitions.
Kiev is still demanding the US send F-16 fighter jets to counter Russia's air superiority. However, there's been much dissembling from US officials with conflicting reports the delivery of the jets will be delayed or sent by allies from their surplus supply. It's hard to decipher what the actual plan is.
