Ukraine using cluster bombs 'effectively', says US – BBC News

The White House has confirmed that Ukraine is using US cluster bombs against Russian forces in the country.

National Security Spokesman John Kirby said initial feedback suggested they were being used "effectively" on Russian defensive positions and operations.

Cluster bombs scatter multiple bomblets and are banned by more than 100 countries due to their threat to civilians.

The US agreed to supply them to boost Ukrainian ammunition supplies.
