Russian tank column blown up by lethally accurate Ukrainian artillery near Bakhmut

Ukrainian forces held their positions on the heights near the village after an assault took place, according to the WarGonzo.

Kyiv is determined to keep hold of the settlement as it cuts off a key supply route to the Russian forces occupying the city.

The footage, apparently taken from a drone, shows six tanks moving in a line along a field parallel to an unnamed settlement before being engulfed in an artillery strike.

Hanna Maliar, a Ukrainian defence minister, said on Monday that troops had recaptured around three square kilometres (1.2 square miles) near Bakhmut in the last week.
