Ukrainian Cluster Shells Cause Russian Troop Retreat in Urozhaine

Ukrainian forces have reportedly massacred Russian troops fleeing Urozhaine, a key Russian stronghold in southern Ukraine's Donetsk Oblast. Ukrainian drones and artillery targeted the Russian garrison as they retreated along the open road and fields, resulting in a bloodbath. The Ukrainian military used cluster shells, including American-made M483A1 DPICM rounds, which are highly effective against both armored vehicles and infantry. The exact number of Russian casualties is unknown, but it is believed that many were killed or captured. While some doubt the complete withdrawal of Russian forces from Urozhaine, the outcome of the battle for the town is imminent, with the Ukrainians likely to shift their focus to other strongpoints on the road to Mariupol.
