☆ Ukraine war brings surge in global use of cluster bombs
  + stars: | 2023-09-05 | by ( Emma Farge | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
Cluster munitions, fired from the ground or by aircraft, explode mid-air, spraying smaller 'bomblets' over a wide area. Neither Russia nor Ukraine is a party to the ban, nor is the United States, which began supplying cluster munitions to Ukraine this year. In Ukraine, the report said Russia had used cluster munitions "repeatedly", while Ukraine had also used them, but to "a lesser extent". The report covered last year, and therefore excludes this year's use by Ukraine of U.S. cluster munitions, which Kyiv began receiving in July. It also said its cluster munitions leave behind far fewer unexploded bomblets than those used by Russia.

☆ The Air Force wants $5.8 billion to build nearly 2,000 AI-powered Valkyrie aircraft as part of its 'next generation of air dominance' initiative

The Air Force has requested $5.8 billion in its budget to create AI-driven XQ-58A Valkyrie aircraft. The autonomous crafts are ideal for completing suicide missions and protecting pilots, the Air Force says. Human rights advocates say letting technology take lives crosses a moral boundary. The Times reported each Valkyrie will cost between $3 million and $25 million — far less than a manned pilot jet. Air Force and Department of Defense representatives did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

☆ Allies React Cautiously to Prospect of U.S. Cluster Weapons for Ukraine

The United States appears to be on the verge of providing Ukraine with cluster munitions, a senior Biden administration official said. What are cluster munitions? “There’s just not a responsible way to use cluster munitions,” said Brian Castner, the weapons expert on Amnesty International’s Crisis Response Team. The New York Times has documented Russia’s extensive use of cluster munitions in Ukraine since the beginning of the invasion in February 2022. The Convention on Cluster Munitions also limits the ability of nations that have signed on to cooperate militarily with countries that employ them.

☆ Ukraine war live updates: Russian missile kills four in western city of Lviv; nuclear plant tensions in focus

An aerial view of the destruction of residential buildings on September 20, 2022 in Izium, Ukraine. Human Rights Watch on Wednesday accused both Russian and Ukrainian forces of causing civilian casualties through the use of cluster munitions. The organization found that Ukrainian cluster bomb attacks on Russian-controlled areas in and around the eastern Ukrainian city of Izium in 2022 caused multiple casualties among Ukrainian civilians, while Russian forces have "extensively" used cluster munitions in Ukraine, killing and injuring many civilians. "Cluster munitions used by Russia and Ukraine are killing civilians now and will continue to do so for many years," said Mary Wareham, acting arms director at Human Rights Watch. The U.S. government is considering a request from Ukraine for the transfer of stockpiled cluster munitions.

☆ Ukraine and Russia should stop using cluster bombs, Human Rights Watch says
  + stars: | 2023-07-06 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Human Rights Watch, an international advocacy group, called on both Russia and Ukraine to stop using the weapons, and urged the U.S. not to supply them. Russia, Ukraine and the U.S. have all to declined to sign the treaty. Ukraine fired cluster munition rockets into Russian-controlled areas in and around the eastern Ukrainian city of Izium last year after Russia invaded Ukraine, Human Rights Watch said, citing interviews with more than 100 residents, witnesses and local emergency personnel. The Ukrainian attacks killed at least eight civilians and wounded at least 15 civilians in Izium, Human Rights Watch said. The group has previously reported that Russia's use of cluster munitions in Ukraine has killed scores of civilians, and the United Nations' Human Rights Council has also documented the use of such bombs by both sides.
