for Putin's forces was hit on Friday night by a sea drone that was filled with 450kg of TNT - and a major port was targeted earlier in the day.
"There can be no justification for such barbaric actions, they will not go unanswered and their authors and perpetrators will inevitably be punished," spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said. In other developments, Ukraine has reportedly used cluster monitions in the Russian-occupied city of Donetsk - with a university on fire.
The controversial weapons are banned in more than 120 countries because they have a track record of killing and maiming civilians. They detonate in the air and releases"bomblets" that scatter over a large area, but smaller munitions can fail to detonate and pose a long-term risk to civilians.President Joe Biden said the controversial decision was a"difficult" one - but he had to act because Mr Zelenskyy's forces were running out of ammunition.
