Russia has been accused of using chemical attacks in an airstrike on Donbas, Ukraine.
Ukrainian officials are accusing Russia of using phosphorus chemical bombs in the eastern Donbas region.
The use of white phosphorus shells in populated areas with civilians are banned by international law, but is allowed for use in open spaces to provide cover for soldiers.
In another separate airstrike, a monastery that was sheltering civilians was hit and saw about 30 people wounded.
The monastery was sheltering about 1,000 people.
In yet another shelling, a train that was evacuating people from Donbas to Lviv was shelled, and it saw one person killed and one more injured.
The head of police in Popasna, Oleksi Biloshytsky, said on Saturday that chemical weapons were used by the Russians.
He described the attacks on Facebook, saying “it’s what the Nazis called a flaming onion (what the Russian forces are allegedly using), indescribable suffering and fires”.
At the time of writing, the accusations are unable to be verified yet.
