“The use of phosphorus has been observed in the area of Zherebyanok, Pyatikhatok,” the source said.
According to his words, the Russian doctors recognized the damage caused by said substance in time and quickly organized evacuation and disinfection.
Remember that phosphorus ammunition is of the incendiary type. The white phosphorus that is used in them during combustion reaches a temperature of up to 1300 degrees, and also emits pungent smoke. Contact with skin causes severe burns.
The use of phosphorous munitions against military targets located in or near populated areas is prohibited by the 2006 Geneva Convention.
