'White phosphorus' reports: Ukraine military 'dropped incendiary bombs' on Slavyansk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=2KYuQtlMVRc
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.
................................................................
It does appear that there is at least a case to be argued that something similar, if not itself white phosphorous, was used overnight. I've seen the video, I've looked at it closely...[there are] whole signs, whole marks of white phosphorous use. For example, a very bright light burning and multiple burns coming down from the sky. It's an airburst weapon that has been used, such as a mortar or a manned aircraft," Charles Shoebridge, a former army officer, Scotland Yard detective, and counter-terrorism intelligence officer who has recently returned from Ukraine, told RT.
"White phosphorous cannot be put out with the use of water" and it will "burn through one's body to the bone," Shoebridge added. "If there is going to be large amounts used it can also be a poison – large amounts can be set to contaminate water supply."
According to the video, "it's very likely that white phosphorus" was used, Shoebridge added. "It's very difficult to fabricate the video we saw combined with the evidence on the ground."
