In Kharkiv, law enforcement officers found an unexploded ordnance near the Epicenter hypermarket, which was hit by the Russian guided bombs on May 25, according to the Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor's Office.

"The number of victims at the Epicenter hypermarket could have been much higher. Today, prosecutors, together with the employees of the State Emergency Service, and investigators from the Security Service of Ukraine and National Police, discovered unexploded ordnance approximately 80 meters from the hypermarket building," stated the Prosecutor's Office.

Law enforcement officials added that it was probably a UMPB D-30 bomb used by Russians to attack Kharkiv on May 25.

The Prosecutor's Office also clarified that the Russian army adjusted fire using reconnaissance drones.

According to the Prosecutor's Office, the Russian army deliberately launched several munitions simultaneously to kill as many civilians as possible.
