An expert said we should exercise caution before attributing the attack to Russia, as we don't have enough information about the attack yet.
These weapons were developed in the Soviet Union, according to Miron,"so they are not new by any means."The use of thermite munitions, as well as napalm bombs, is not prohibited per se, but it's limited to clearly defined military targets by Protocol III of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons , due to the high humanitarian risk linked to such destructive incendiary weapons.
Thermite munitions can inflict painful burns on both troops and civilians and also cause respiratory injuries. Miron said we should exercise caution before attributing the attack to Russia as we don't have enough information about the attack yet."Of course, we can deduce that it would make sense for the Russians to use them in the instance below, however, apparently these munitions have also been used in the city of Donetsk on July 23, 2022. Whether or not either side would use these on areas under their control cannot be determined with certainty," she added.
