Putin accused of 'unleashing horrifying Vacuum Bombs' that can ‘EXPLODE’ people’s lungs in Ukraine

Terrifying "vacuum bombs" that can explode enemy troops' lungs have been used in Ukraine, its government has said.

Russia's TOS-1 Buratino rocket launchers are some of the most deadly non-nuclear weapons that can be deployed on the modern battlefield.

The TOS-1 launches a rocket carrying a fuel-air explosive (FAE), dubbed the "wall of napalm".

At the weekend one of the fearsome launchers was seen being transported on the back of a lorry near Belgorod in Russia.

The thermobaric weapons are "vacuum bombs' because they suck in oxygen from the surrounding air.

That generates a powerful explosion and enormous pressure wave that results in immense destruction.

Now, Ukraine's Ambassador to the U.S, Oksana Markarova, has accused the Russians of using weapons.

"They used the vacuum bomb today, which is actually prohibited by the Geneva convention," she said.

It came after earlier in the day Mayor Pavlo Kuzmenko of Okhtyrka - where just days ago a nursery was blitzed - also accused Putin of using the weapons.

Ukraine's embassy in Lithuania also posted a video of the aftermath of an attack using one of the weapons.

They said the Russian "war criminals used vacuum bombs to hit civilians and oil storage facilities in Ochtyrka, Sumy region".

It comes as Western officials have expressed concern Russia could deploy the devastating weapon amid signs that its advance had been slower than planned in the face of stiff Ukrainian resistance.
