Heavy fighting has broken out in eastern Ukraine, where Russia’s Wagner mercenaries are firing thermobaric weapons to strike Ukrainian positions.

Firey explosions and shockwaves could be seen in footage recorded in the Bakhmut area of Donetsk Oblast as the TOS-1A Multiple Launch Rocket Systems hit their targets.

Russia has moved the battle eastward after retreating from Kherson, according to Ukrainian officials, with locals in the Luhansk region reporting heavy fire close by.

Russia is said to be suffering heavy losses as Ukraine continues its counter-offensive.
