Horror when Ukrainian positions in the Donetsk region were vaporized by a thermobaric missile launcher. In the direction of Lyman, the Russians struck entrenched locations and stopped a Ukrainian counterattack. Russia used the dreaded TOAS-1A thermobaric missile launcher to deliver a savage onslaught. Thermobaric weapons may evaporate bodies, making them much more lethal than ordinary explosives. The cloud is ignited by a second blast after being sprayed with fuel vapour by thermobaric weapons. The thermobaric (temperature and pressure) action is the primary cause of harm.
