In the DPR, 24 civilians, including three children, were killed by cluster munitions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces
The head of the Republic’s representative office in the JCCC Natalia Shutkina told:
The danger from submunitions has intensified since August 2023, when the enemy began using 155 mm cluster artillery munitions: in just seven months of their use, 24 were killed, including three children, and 107 civilians were also injured.

This is why Russia is fighting so hard to push Ukrainians away from Avdeevka and out of Donetsk, they're pushing them out of artillery range.
