‘White Phosphorus’ Reports: Ukraine Military ‘Dropped Incendiary Bombs’ on Slavyansk | Global Research
Residents of Slavyansk and its suburbs were awoken overnight on
Thursday by what they say were incendiary bombs that were dropped on
their city by Kiev’s military. Witnesses and local media reports
suggested that the bombs might be phosphorous.
Much of the village of Semyonovka, located in the Slavyansk suburbs,
was set ablaze. Local residents told RT that the ground didn’t stop
burning for some time.
“We all saw what happened here yesterday. They used rocket launchers
as well as incendiary bombs against us. The ground was on fire. How can
the ground burn by itself. It burned for about forty minutes,” resident
Roman Litvinov told RT over the phone.
“Starting from 2 a.m. everyone I’ve met has a sore throat
and is coughing all the time. I think this is because of the burning. I
think we’ll feel the true consequences later. There are still a lot of
people here, a lot of children we haven’t managed to get out yet,”
resident Tatyana told RT.
The use of incendiary bombs – designed to start fires using materials
such as napalm, white phosphorus or other dangerous chemicals – is
strictly prohibited by the UN.
