What is known about the Russian strike with a modified FAB-1500 in the Kharkiv region
Everything around shuddered, as if an earthquake had begun. An entire street was destroyed with one blow. The inhabitants of the village of Monachynivka had to experience and see this. The enemy launched a high-powered weapon — a high-explosive aerial bomb weighing one and a half tons — at people and their houses, said Serhiy Bolvinov, an investigator of the police department of the Kharkiv region.
He notes that no more than a hundred residents remained in this border village, and no single soldier existed.
The Russians equipped the FAB-1500 with a particular module so that the bomb could glide in the air after launch from the plane.
He emphasized that this was the first time the Russians had used weapons of such power against the population of the Kharkiv region.
The only thing they managed to achieve was to destroy the villagers' houses and kill an 88-year-old woman. Her body was taken out from under the rubble after the impact, the report says.
