For the first time, the Russian occupation army used FAB-1500 bombs with a special module to strike the Kharkiv Region.

This was reported by Serhiy Bolvinov, Head of the Investigation Department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Kharkiv Region.

"An entire street was destroyed in one blow. Residents of the village of Monachynivka had to feel and see this. The enemy launched a powerful weapon at people and their homes - a high-explosive bomb weighing one and a half tonnes," Bolvinov said.

According to him, there were no more than a hundred locals left in this border village of Kupyansk district and not a single military man. 

"The Russians equipped the FAB 1500 with a special module so that the bomb could plan in the air after being launched from an aircraft. It was the first time weapons of such power were used against us. The only thing they managed to achieve was to destroy the villagers' houses and kill an 88-year-old woman. Her body was taken out of the rubble after the strike," the law enforcement officer added.
