Original Note:
"...the use of phosphorus bombs near populated areas/civilians is still a war crime, as humanitarian law requires military attacks to be selective. The command is obliged to distinguish between civilians and soldiers... which is impossible when using...in populated areas." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_phosphorus_munitions#:~:text=It%20is%20an%20incendiary.,is%20not%20exhausted%20or%20extinguished.%22 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/what-is-white-phosphorus-russia-ukraine/
