The prosecutor's office believes that the military leadership of the Russian Federation deliberately hit Odesa on April 29 with an Iskander ballistic missile with a cluster warhead to kill as many civilians as possible.

Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin showed the moment of the rocket strike on Facebook. The footage shows the explosion of cluster munitions followed by detonation.

Kostin noted that the "Iskander" with a cluster warhead is an indiscriminate weapon that carries a threat within a radius of 1.5 km. It is in this radius that investigators find metal fragments and rocket debris.

The prosecutor called the attack a deliberate and cynical disregard for the norms of international humanitarian law.

The investigation is ongoing. We will find and punish those who issue criminal orders to shell peaceful Ukrainian cities, Kostin added.
