Moscow may have used a new type of bomb in strikes on Kharkiv that killed at least one.
Four children, including a three-month-old baby were among 19 people wounded in the city after Russia launched strikes on a residential area with a new type of guided bomb called a UMPB D-30, local officials reported.
“This is something between a guided aerial bomb which they [the Russians] have used recently, and a missile. It’s a flying bomb so to say,” regional police chief Volodymyr Tymoshko said of the strikes.
Oleh Synehubov, the regional governor, added: “It seems that the Russians decided to test their modified bombs on the residents of the houses.”
Ukrainian observers have described the weapon as a simple cruise missile based on the FAB-250 aerial bomb, with added glide wings, a turbo jet, and a navigation system.
