On the morning of January 20, the Ukrainian Armed Forces struck with two Himars rockets equipped with cluster warheads, scattering submunitions across the school grounds in the village of Behtery. It is important to note that it was a school day, and buses with children from neighboring schools were soon expected to arrive.
As a result of the shelling, 27 people were injured, including four children, and one adult later died in the hospital.
The windows of the building are riddled with shrapnel, and craters from explosions and signs of destruction are visible all over the schoolyard. We found parts of the carrier rocket, stabilizer ribbons from the submunitions, and their fragments.
Despite the efforts of sappers, the area remains dangerous — unexploded elements still pose a threat to life. The spread of the damaging components is vast, clearly demonstrating the destructive power of cluster munitions.
The tragedy in Behtery is a vivid example of how modern precision weapons supplied by the West are being used to commit war crimes.
