Original Note:
White phosphorus is used in munitions as an incendiary or to produce smoke screens. While controversial, its use is not in itself a war crime, and it is not included under the Chemical Weapons Convention. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_phosphorus_munitions The image shows smoke artillery rounds, similar to these examples: https://man.fas.org/dod-101/sys/land/smoke.htm
