Incendiary cluster bombs are intended to start fires, just like conventional [[incendiary bomb]]s (firebombs). They contain submunitions of [[white phosphorus]] or [[napalm]], and can be combined anti-personnel and anti-tank submunitions to hamper firefighting efforts.<ref name=":0" /> In urban areas they have been preceded by the use of conventional explosive bombs to fracture the roofs and walls of buildings to expose their flammable contents. One of the earliest examples is the so-called [[Molotov bread basket]] used by the Soviet Union in the [[Winter War]] of 1939–40. Incendiary clusters were extensively used by both sides in the [[Strategic bombing during World War II|strategic bombings of World War II]]. They caused [[firestorm]]s and [[conflagration]]s in the [[bombing of Dresden in World War II]] and the [[firebombing of Tokyo]]. Some modern bomb submunitions deliver a highly combustible [[thermobaric]] aerosol that results in a high pressure explosion when ignited.{{Citation needed|date=November 2009}}
