CORROBORATED
Multiple sources confirm the use of FAB-500 bombs equipped with the unified glide/adjustment module (UMPK). TASS reports a specific decision to use this munition, and another web result mentions their use in Kharkiv. Wikipedia confirms the UMPK is a guidance kit for converting Soviet bombs into glide bombs.
