The governor of Russia"s Bryansk region has alleged Ukraine used cluster munitions on a Russian village near the Ukrainian border, hitting several houses. No casualties were reported in Klimovo, wrote Governor Alexander Bogomaz on Telegram. Kyiv has not commented on this accusation. Euronews cannot independently verify the Russian official"s claim, which were made without photo or video evidence. Washington controversially supplied Kyiv with cluster bombs in July -- which was blasted as a "terrible mistake" by politicians and rights groups. Cluster munitions are banned under an international treaty, signed by more than 120 countries. Like a shotgun, they splatter explosive submunitions over an area as big as several football fields. These can then lie dormant like landmines, killing and maiming civilians years after a conflict has finished. Russia has been documented using cluster bombs extensively in Ukraine. — Euronews
