(Berlin, March 16, 2022)— Russian forces repeatedly fired cluster munitions into the densely populated city of Mykolaiv, in southern Ukraine, during three separate attacks on March 7, 11, and 13, Human Rights Watch said today. The attack on March 13 reportedly killed nine civilians, who were apparently queuing at a cash machine. The three attacks also injured several other civilians and damaged a hospital, homes, businesses, and civilian vehicles.
“Multiple residential areas in Mykolaiv were rocked by cluster munition attacks in the span of a week,” said Steve Goose, Arms Director of Human Rights Watch. “Russian forces should cease the use of cluster munitions and end these clearly indiscriminate attacks.”
