Moscow: The Ukrainian army has shocked Russia by capturing a large part of the Kursk region. Several reports have claimed that the Ukrainian army has captured 350 square km of area within Russia. In response, the Russian army has adopted a very aggressive stance and dangerous weapons have been used in the area. Russia is dropping dangerous thermobaric bombs to prevent Ukrainian troops from penetrating further into Kursk. This destructive bomb, known as a vacuum bomb, releases deadly chemicals in the area where it falls. This causes people to die by suffocation or lung infection. This dangerous bomb can kill a large number of people.
The Sun report claims that these bombs were dropped in Kursk. However, it is not clear where these bombs were dropped in the war-torn Kursk region and how much damage it caused. As long as civilians are not being targeted, the use of vacuum bombs is not a violation of international law. Russia has used thermobaric (vacuum) bombs before. Russia was accused of dropping these bombs on Ukrainian oil depots in 2022.
These bombs were made during the Second World War
Thermobaric weapons were made by the Nazis in the Second World War. However, they were first used by America in Vietnam. When this bomb is dropped somewhere, its initial explosion spreads a large amount of chemical particles in the air and has devastating effects. It is believed that these bombs have been fired by Russia to respond to the big blow received from Ukraine.
After the attack by the Ukrainian army last week, they have been able to enter 20 kilometers into Russian territory. It is being claimed that hundreds of Russian soldiers have been killed and arrested in the attack by the Ukrainian army. After this, Russia has shown aggression to get back its territory and prevent Kiev from gaining further foothold. Russia has sent a large number of weapons to protect Sudzhansky of Kursk, this area has been at the center of Ukrainian attacks for a week.
Russia has sent additional tanks, artillery and rocket systems to its southern Kursk region. Russia on Friday declared a state of emergency and sent additional security forces in view of the situation in the Kursk region. This is considered to be the biggest challenge posed by Ukraine to Vladimir Putin and Russia since the war began in February 2022.
