The Russians attacked the city of Kharkiv during the night in the north-east of Ukraine, injuring at least 51 people, including two teenage girlsand using Thermobaric bombswhich create a shock wave at a very high temperature. This is what Kharkiv’s regional prosecutor’s office denounced this morning, cited by media Ukrainians. At least seven explosions in various parts of the city, where numerous fires broke out, writes the Ukrainian site, according to which the Russians would have used at least 15 drones, perhaps loaded with this type of weapon.
The thermobaric bombs, which cause devastating effects, are considered among the most deadly conventional weapons developed so far. The bomb is also called empty bomb because it uses the oxygen of the surrounding air to generate an explosion at a high temperature. Its use is particularly dangerous and could indicate a deliberate violation of international humanitarian law, according to the Prosecutor, cited by Ukrainska Pravda.
