Ukrainian Drone Captures The Horrors Of The Battle For Bakhmut

Newsweek: Ukrainian Drone Captures Horrors of Bakhmut Battle as Fighting Rages—Video 

A Ukrainian drone has captured the horrors of the battle for Bakhmut, as clashes continue to intensify in the city in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region nearly 10 months into the war. 

Footage geolocated by an open source expert and shared on Monday by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a United States think tank, shows thick plumes of smoke rising into the air as explosions strike the territory. 

The three-and-a-half-minute-long clip, posted on social media on December 19, shows clashes on Fedora Maksymenka street on the eastern outskirts of Bakhmut, where members of the mercenary outfit the Wagner Group and Ukrainian troops are engaging in trench warfare and grinding street battles.

There's so much videos coming out from this conflict, it's almost insane. The amount of poor soldiers getting grenades dropped on them from drones, where you sit at home and watch them explode in HD is terrifying.

After seeing this conflict, there is no way anyone is safe, anywhere.
