As reported by NBN, citing the official X-account of the UK Ministry of Defence, the “second army in the world” has effectively razed to the ground completely civilian infrastructure facilities in Bakhmut in Donetsk region.
British military intelligence analysts, having reviewed fresh photographs taken from space, have come to the conclusion that during the period of the “liberators'” intensive offensive, the Russian Federation, seeking to quickly seize Bakhmut, carried out indiscriminate shelling of buildings, which led to colossal destruction of almost the entire city.
In particular, the occupiers destroyed educational institutions, train stations and residential buildings, and also damaged or destroyed as much as possible identical civilian infrastructure.
Satellite footage documented large-scale destruction that affected a stadium, a school and a train station in Bakhmut:
