Russia says Kiev has fired cluster munitions at a village near the border with Ukraine, leaving several houses destroyed.
The governor of Russia's Bryansk region said on Tuesday that Ukrainian forces fired the banned weapons at the village of Klimovo.
No casualties are reported in the shelling of the village, Governor Alexander Bogomaz said in a Telegram message.
Russian officials in Bryansk and other regions bordering Ukraine have repeatedly accused Kiev of indiscriminate shelling of the region.
Ukraine has received cluster munitions from the United States, but it had pledged to use the banned munitions only to dislodge concentrations of enemy soldiers and not against civilians.
Cluster munitions are prohibited by more than 100 countries.
