Why This 'Bread Basket' Was a Wartime Nightmare! 😱🍞

The "Molotov bread basket" was feared for its ability to cause widespread destruction and fires over a large area, making it highly effective against both military targets and civilian infrastructure. Its use could lead to devastating consequences, including significant loss of life and extensive property damage.

The use of such cluster bombs has been widely banned because they often leave behind unexploded ordnance, which can pose a long-term danger to civilians, including children. These remnants can remain active for years, potentially causing injury or death long after the conflict has ended.

The indiscriminate nature of cluster bombs and their long-lasting threat to civilian populations led to their prohibition under the Convention on Cluster Munitions, an international treaty adopted in 2008.
