Such munitions are used to destroy personnel and pose a threat primarily to people, not to equipment and buildings.
As Dmytro Pletenchuk, head of the Strategic Communications Center of the Southern Defence Forces, later stated, the missile was probably filled with shrapnel for mass destruction of the civilian population.
The prosecutor's office has started an investigation into the ballistic missile attack on Odesa for violation of the laws and customs of war.
