Who's using cluster munitions on civilians? The missile was intercepted on the way to it's actual target. They weren't targeting that beach
That might be what happened. But as we see the cluster bombs did not explode during interception. Instead they landed all over a beach of people on annexation vacation. There's a reason why cluster bombs are banned.
But in any case. These are the "horrors of war" which the original commenter was hoping Russian civilians would be seeing no?
By whom?

You’re one link click away from understanding why your message is stupid. Question is whether it’s message alone.
They even provided a link to signatories of the convention in your link for you to peruse.
Surprise, Neither the US, Ukraine, nor Russia are signatories.
So not a warcrime for any party in this situation
