The missile and drone offensive was not restricted to the capital, but also spread to the surrounding area, resulting in a total of seventeen fatalities, in addition to dozens of people inju

Recognized and internationally condemned for their indiscriminate nature and their contribution to the spread and prolongation of humanitarian crises around the world, cluster munitions are weapons currently prohibited under the Convention on Cluster Munitions. The treaty forms part of the body of International Humanitarian Law and prohibits the use, transfer, production, and stockpiling of these weapons.
