Russians decimate entire street in border village of Kharkiv Oblast using modified FAB-1500 glide bomb
The Russian Armed Forces struck the Kupiansk district in Kharkiv Oblast for the first time with modified FAB-1500 glide bombs.
According to Serhii Bolvinov, Head of the Investigation Department of the Main Directorate of Ukraine’s National Police in Kharkiv Oblast, the Russians obliterated an entire street.
No more than a hundred locals were in this border village in the Kupiansk district and no soldiers were present.
“Everything around shook as if an earthquake had begun. With one strike, an entire street was destroyed. Residents of the village of Monachynivka had to feel and see such devastation. The enemy unleashed a tremendously powerful weapon – a high-explosive bomb weighing one and a half tonnes. The Russians equipped the FAB-1500 with a special module so that the bomb could glide in the air after being launched from an aircraft,” Bolvinov explained.
Bolvinov said that this was the first time weaponry of such power had been used:
“The only thing they managed to achieve was to destroy the homes of villagers and kill an 88-year-old woman. Her body was retrieved from the rubble after the strike,” he reported.
By way of background, on the evening of April 29, 2024, Russians launched a ballistic missile strike on the city of Odesa, killing six people and injuring 32 Ukrainians.
Due to combined Russian Armed Forces attacks, the coalition of human rights organisations, “Ukraine. 5 a.m.” appealed to partner countries to intensify their actions for providing air defense systems that should protect civilians and objects under the protection of international humanitarian law.
