The Russian forces dropped what is believed to be a FAB-9000 high-explosive fragmentation aerial bomb on positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Volchansk, the Kharkiv region.
The FAB-9000 is known as the most powerful non-nuclear bomb in the arsenal of the Russian Armed Forces. The bomb is known as Slon ("Elephant").
"Something very powerful. Apparently, a FAB-9000 hit Volchansk,” military correspondent Andrey Rudenko wrote on his Telegram channel.
Yet, a message posted on the Iznanka Telegram channel said that the video showed the use of a FAB-1500 bomb.
Kyiv completed the evacuation of people from Volchansk and its environs in early July. According to local authorities, less than 30 people refused to leave the city.
