INTENSE VIDEO: Russian Cluster Munitions Hit Kharkiv Neighborhood

Unconfirmed CCTV footage dated Apr. 20, 2022 reportedly shows Russian cluster munitions targeting a residential area of Kharkiv and local residents scramble for cover as the bomblets begin exploding across the neighborhood.

Interviews with 2 witnesses and an analysis of 40 videos and photographs reveal the use of submunitions delivered by Russian-made 9M55K Smerch cluster munition rockets. 

Cluster munitions are contained in a larger projectile such as a rocket, missile or bomb. When the projectile reaches the target, it scatters the smaller devices - the cluster munitions - across a broad area. In cases where the cluster munitions are delivered by a missile or rocket, the non-explosive tail section of the missile or rocket often continues its trajectory, hitting the ground beyond the target. 

The Russian-made 9M55K rocket is fired from a wheeled launch vehicle known as a BM-30 Smerch. Smerch launchers can fire a salvo of 12 rockets at a time. 9M55K rockets have a range of 20-70 km.
