Invading Russian forces are using CS gas grenades, namely K-51 gas grenades, against Ukrainian troops in the Donbas, the Ukrainian navy re-ported on Telegram on Dec. 4.
According to them, Russian troops dropped the grenades from drones onto Ukrainian positions. The gas used in these grenades, also colloquially known as tear gas, causes irritation around the eyes, difficulty breathing, and can induce vomiting.
"Marines keep their position in chemical protection in order to prevent strong irritation," the Ukrainian Navy said.
