The fiercest fighting at the front continues in Bakhmut.

On Thursday evening, April 13, the invaders fired on Bakhmut of the Donetsk region with incendiary phosphorus bombs. Ukrainian Telegram channels published the corresponding video.

The use of such ammunition near or inside populated areas has been prohibited by the Geneva Convention since 1977.

This decision was made because of the high combustion temperature of the shells, which melts metal, trees, bodies of animals and people. This weapon is hazardous within a radius of 150 meters from the explosion's epicenter.
