Russia's Defence Ministry Has Admitted Using "lung-busting" thermobaric 'vacuum bombs' in Chernihiv as Vladimir Putin grows increasingly frustrated by the slow pace of the invasion and the fierce Ukrainian resistance
- Britain's Ministry of Defense and Ukrainian newspaper Ukrayinska Pravda both reported that Russia had confirmed using a thermobaric bomb
- The Soviet-era weapon launches rockets from atop a tank body; the rockets suck in surrounding oxygen, creating higher temperatures and extreme explosions
- The weapons are not illegal but under rules of engagement cannot be used against military targets if their launch could also harm civilians
- A Russian artilleryman, Sergeant Sergei Gubarev, told Russian state TV he had used the weapon on March 4 in the Chernihiv region
- Chernihiv, 80 miles north of Kyiv, remains the focus of heavy bombardment
- The day before the thermobaric bomb, 47 people died queuing for bread
