Ukraine has provided the Pentagon with a report about the use of American cluster munitions in the fight against Russia, a Ukrainian official told CNN on 9 August.

The official said the information transmitted to the defence department included both the number of rounds fired and the number of Russian targets destroyed, though the official declined to say what those figures are.

The expected report was a request by the US as part of the agreement to send artillery rounds with cluster bomblets - known as DPICMs - to Ukraine. In an interview with CNN last month, Ukraine's Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said he was planning to submit the report to his counterpart, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.
