Russia Dropped a Cluster Missile on Old Kyiv

Original version ·

So much for the fairy tale about "surgical strikes on military infrastructure."

Russian forces decided to hit the historic heart of Kyiv with an Iskander ballistic missile. Not a standard high-explosive warhead, but a K5 cluster payload.

Military specialist Serhii Flash pointed out that this thing doesn't even hit the ground to crack bunkers. It detonates in mid-air to spray 58 submunitions across a massive 400-by-400-meter kill zone.

There is zero military rationale for showering old residential quarters with anti-personnel submunitions, unless the explicit goal is to butcher as many civilians as possible. Dozens ended up injured, one person died, and neighborhood facades were peppered with shrapnel.

Nothing screams tactical precision quite like airbursting shrapnel over coffee shops and historic alleys.
