On the evening of November 7 Russian forces launched cluster munition strikes on the village of Bahatyr in the Donetsk region, according to the Donetsk Regional Prosecutor's Office.

"On November 7 at 19:45, the Russian army reportedly launched an attack, likely using the multiple launch rocket system Smerch, on the village of Bahatyr in the Volnovakha district," stated the report.

The epicenter of the impact of cluster munitions struck a densely populated residential area with no military targets nearby.

As a result of the explosions, over a dozen private houses were damaged and destroyed. Under the debris of one of them, in a brick basement, during the search and rescue operations, the bodies of three deceased civilians were discovered. They were a 58-year-old man, his 60-year-old wife, and their 33-year-old neighbor.

In addition to households, agricultural structures, and three vehicles were also damaged.
