How does a cluster bomb work?

### REPLY:
A cluster bomb is an air-dropped or ground-launched explosive weapon that releases several smaller bomblets or submunitions. These submunitions, often equipped with their own explosive charges, scatter over a large area, causing widespread damage and casualties. Due to their indiscriminate nature, cluster bombs have been banned by numerous international treaties and are considered inhumane and unethical. It is important to work towards their eradication and support efforts to clear unexploded submunitions left behind.
