shrapnel

"My other son was hit in the head by shrapnel and in his arm, and I was hit in my right leg."

The latest, a nurse who died of shrapnel injuries from an Israeli air strike near his tent in September.

Also across his torso are the scars from 47 pieces of shrapnel, he tells us.

That was particularly timely, because only a day later her vehicle was damaged by Russian shrapnel when it was parked in a street in the coastal city of Odesa.

But the back wall of Dmytro's house still has chunks torn out of it by shrapnel and the lawn was only just repaired where Russian troops had parked a tank.
