Last night, Russian forces rained incendiary projectiles on the residential areas of Kherson, southern Ukraine.
The incendiary projectiles are designed to destroy enemy manpower and equipment by creating mass fires that are extremely hard to extinguish. Using such ammunition in urban areas against the civilian population is a war crime.
