“HORROR FOOTAGE: RUSSIA UNLEASHES FLESH-MELTING THERMITE ‘RAIN’ BOMBS OVER UKRAINE”

Shocking video has surfaced showing what appears to be thermite munitions raining down on Ukrainian towns like Vuhledar and Ozerne—incendiary projectiles that burn at temperatures exceeding 2,400 °C, capable of searing through steel and reducing human flesh to the bone (express.co.uk, inkl). The footage, labeled by observers as “flesh-melting thermite rain,” portrays a hellish scene of glowing embers cascading from the sky, igniting fires and obliterating everything in their path (ibtimes.sg, express.co.uk,).

These weapons are indiscriminate and terrifyingly destructive, prompting condemnation from human-rights groups. Human Rights Watch warns that incendiary weapons like thermite inflict “excruciating burns, sometimes to the bone,” often resulting in severe physical trauma, infections, organ failure, and lifelong disability (EURASIAN TIMES, edition.cnn.com, Wikipedia). Despite these devastating effects, thermite weapons are not universally banned—though their use in civilian areas is strictly prohibited under Protocol III of the UN Convention on Conventional Weapons (ibtimes.sg, Wikipedia, The Chronicle, edition.cnn.com).

In parallel, Ukraine has been deploying its own terrifying variant—“dragon drones”—which spray molten thermite over Russian positions, burning through forest cover, fortifications, and even armored equipment (Le Monde.fr, Wikipedia, edition.cnn.com). These drones deliver devastating heat, inflicting deep burns and causing psychological terror among enemy ranks (Wikipedia, edition.cnn.com).

Whether falling from the sky as thermite “rain” or seared onto targets by drone, the use of these flesh-burning incendiary weapons underscores the war’s escalating brutality—and the urgent need for international accountability.
