In March 2022, the Ukrainian Military Center, a non-government think tank, concluded that Russia had used 9M22S incendiary munitions in Popasna, in Luhansk province. They said the effect of"these flammable munitions and lighting munitions is often confused with phosphorus munitions."
The convention prohibits the use of air-dropped incendiary weapons in areas with large civilian populations, but allows the use of ground-launched incendiary weapons in the same scenario where the military target is"clearly separated from the concentration of civilians and all feasible precautions are taken," according to Human Rights Watch.
