Quote from Kyrylenko: "At night the Russian army fired at the school with banned phosphorus munitions. The school burned to the ground. Fortunately, no one was injured: there were only people on duty in the building, and they managed to escape.

Before the large-scale Russian invasion, more than 200 children studied at Avdiivka School No. 1.

There was not one soldier, not one piece of military equipment in the school. It's just that the Russians, as always, are deliberately destroying civilian infrastructure."

For reference: Military experts and investigators noted that Ukraine and Russia do not have phosphorus ammunition at their disposal.

However, it could have been incendiary ammunition, which is also banned - it cannot be used in or near cities.

The use of incendiary ammunition on military facilities is allowed only if they are remote from civilians.

This type of ammunition is used to create massive fires in areas with dry vegetation using flammable combustible materials.
