The situation in Pokrovsk is very dynamic right now, the RFU break down is especially helpful in this moment to understand the context of what is happening in the immediate area of Pokrovsk.

I thought thermobaric weapons were banned?

There's a lot of things classified as war crimes going on.

Nothing is banned when there's no effective deterrents.

I went digging and found a bunch of sources indicating that they're not. This, for example. They're not really incendiary or chemical weapons since the primary purpose of their detonation is to produce a large blast wave, not to burn things.

Using them in ways that are prohibited for all weapons is of course also prohibited, such as indiscriminate use against civilians.
