Cluster weapons being used in Russia-Ukraine war, evidence shows – BBC News
The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Ukraine has used cluster weapons. She just forgot to mention that the United States has not signed up to the ban on cluster weapons. Just an oversight I'm sure in light of the United States' recent announcement that they will be supplying Ukraine with cluster weapons. Let's see how the BBC reports this.

a bbc investigation has gathered evidence of the repeated use of cluster amunitions in the city of cherniv in the north. These weapons rockets or missiles
that deploy a large number of small explosives are banned by more than 100 countries because of the harm they cost civilians but neither russia nor ukraine
have signed up to the international treaty prohibiting them. victorio juhan reports on how patients and medics and cherniv have learned how to survive them.
but a warning some viewers may find this report distressing
There was a pop in the sky and a puff of white smoke appeared everything around began to explode. alexander and his family were running out of supplies their city chironic north ukraine had been under siege by the russians for three weeks. Seconds after they left home. they were hit
The first thing i thought was that my leg had been turned off i had a crazy pain i called out to ask my son daniel are you in one piece.
This family was among dozens of victims of a cluster attack on a residential area on the 17th march. cluster weapons caused multiple injuries to limbs and vital organs cutting through bone flesh and arteries. Sarhi he was alexander's surgeon that day
The flesh was torn one wound was all the way through his leg to the shin which damaged the muscles we had never seen anything like it. this is the first time we had encountered such injuries
For these civilian medics there was just one explanation cluster weapons and at the scene of the attack near another hospital we find proof
The bomb disposal unit showed us a timer on a class ammunition that they found in a residential area in chernev. we found this fragment and the bomb disposal unit believes it comes from a similar timer on a similar cluster munition.
These piles of weapons were collected by the bomb disposal team all around the region at least one rocket came from the scene on march the 17th
in one rocket projectile there are 30 such cluster elements these are designed to kill people and destroy light armored vehicles
This is how destructive they are. these bombs leave specific small marks on the tarmac and small holes on buildings we found these very distinct markings all over cherniv the russian government has denied using cluster munitions in ukraine and kiev is building criminal cases against moscow but media reports also accuse ukraine of doing the same at least once an accusation they have denied.
The three of us were in different hospitals for 16 days for the first four days we had no connection at all. we didn't know whether others were alive who had what injuries
they are now reunited in this cave hospital ward but the family will carry the scars of this attack forever victoria johann bbc news

Of course they do it's war! Get over it, they do, we do, and everyone does…… I'm an American tried and true but we use them so does every other country that can produce them of course they're going to use em. This is totally a propaganda piece of journalism…… Russia's crap but of course they're going to use cluster munitions and everything else let's just hope they don't use nukes or gas like in Syria

Fancy that: a snippet of news from the largest war in Europe since WW2! And this while the BBC is fighting its own heroic battle against the advanced stages of IAD (Infantile Attention-span Disorder).
Hats of to the heroes on its editorial board, who—despite the absence of their own spines—struggle to salvage what they can from the steady flow of news from reporters who put their lives on the line every single day.

Так Россия действовали и в Чечне , применяли всё запрещенное оружие , мины, бомбы, ракеты , даже химическое оружие ,мини ядерное. Убили 450 000 тысячи мирных чеченцев жителей , 50 000 чеченских детей – это по официальной статистике, а ведь безвести пропавших ещё не посчитали. А сколько не официально погибших .

Thats worrying. Wate a minute hasn't Israelis been using them on the population in Palestine. This is the problem with the world today these corporate mouths on a stick so called news network's. Must be truly rewarding coming home after work and living in your delusional bubble knowing that you are getting paid for being a lair. You should not be supported by the the real people. Because at the end of the day like the political corrupted you do not support the people.

FROM GENERATIONS TO GENERATIONS, US PRESIDENTS ALWAYS DECLARE AMERICA FIRST, yet America's "friends" don't understand. They gathered to fight Russia for the US so that the economies of other countries will become weak, and the people will become miserable.
India soberly protects its people by keeping good relations with Russia to import essential goods from Russia for its economy. India is not foolish to sacrifice its national interests to serve the American spirit: "America First".

BEING EXTREMELY ANTI-RUSSIA is not the spirit of building a good global community. As a result of such an extreme attitude, the EU's economy itself is very badly suffered.
But it seems that the leading corporations of the EU do not care about the life of their people, they only want to fight against Russia. Their narrow-minded (and also evil) thinking has cost them dearly. Russia may not have time to collapse, but the EU has broken first.
