In the village of Monachynivka, in the Kupyansk district, the Russians obliterated an entire street with a single high-powered FAB-1500 bomb.
This was reported by Serhiy Bolvinov, head of the Kharkiv Regional Police Investigation Department:
«Everything around us trembled as if an earthquake had begun. A whole street was decimated in a single strike. The residents of Monachynivka had to experience and witness this devastation. The enemy unleashed a formidable weapon upon the people and their homes – a high-explosive bomb weighing one and a half tonnes».
He emphasized that no more than a hundred residents remained in this border village, and there wasn’t a single soldier present. The Russians equipped the FAB-1500 with «a special module so that the bomb could glide in the air after being launched from an aircraft«.
«It was the first instance of such potent weaponry being used against us. Their only achievement was the destruction of villagers’ homes and the tragic death of an 88-year-old woman. Her body was recovered from the rubble following the strike», — stated the head of the Investigative Department.
Bolvinov underscored that despite the devastating attack, the residents of Monachynivka promptly rallied to assist the police.
