Russian media is reporting Ukrainian forces armed with American cluster bombs attacked civilians on a Sevastopol beach in occupied Crimea. At least 3 civilians dead and nearly 100 injured.

The Biden admin was initially reluctant to give Ukraine these types of long-range cluster bombs due to their ease of use to commit war crimes.

There's no reporting of this in US media but seems like a possible shift towards attacking Russian civilian centers.

It looks more like Ukraine attacked the naval base nearby and the Russian anti-air interception created the debris that struck the beach. I've seen claims that some russian aa missiles directly hit the beach, and not only bits of Ukrainian and Russian weapons.

In any case, this is hardly the first time there are civilian casualties in Russia due to Ukrainian fire. It's rather just another example that civilians always die in war even if you are careful, and not indicative of any new trend.
