A drone video has shown the battle raging in Ukraine’s eastern city of Bakhmut, on the frontline of Russia’s invasion of its western neighbour.
Several explosions were seen in the video, with buildings destroyed or on fire. The video source said Russia was “destroying civilian infrastructure with artillery and mortars”.
The location of the video was verified by buildings and road layout which matched satellite photography of the area. Reuters was not able to independently confirm the date the video was filmed.
Military experts say the city appears to be of little strategic value to either side, but Russian forces including mercenaries fighting for the Wagner group have in recent days intensified their bombardment.
