In Kyiv, State Emergency Service bomb disposal experts used a robotic system to destroy a cluster munition from a missile warhead.
According to Ukrinform, the Kyiv office of the State Emergency Service (SES) reported this on Facebook.
"Today, bomb disposal experts from the pyrotechnic operations, underwater and humanitarian demining unit of the special rescue detachment destroyed a cluster munition from a missile warhead," the statement said.
The SES noted that because this type of explosive ordnance is too sensitive to external stimuli to be transported, the only way to dispose of it is to detonate it at the site where it was found.
The cluster munition is a metal sphere approximately ten centimeters in diameter. Its primary purpose is to create an extremely dangerous area of impact over a large area.
