Nearly 50 civilians killed in Russian ‘dumb bomb’ attack on Chernihiv: ‘Must be investigated as a war crime’

A Russian airstrike on civilians in the Ukrainian city of Chernihiv, about 120 km north of Kiev, killed 47 civilians last Thursday. According to human rights organization Amnesty International, it may be a war crime, the NGO reported on Wednesday. The Russians used at least eight unguided bombs, also known as ‘dumb bombs’, in the attack. This is evident from interviews and analysis of video images by Amnesty’s Crisis Response team.
