Satellite imagery released on March 10 showed damage to bridges and buildings in the besieged eastern city of Bakhmut where intense battles between Ukrainian and Russian forces have been continuing for months.
According to the latest update from the UK Ministry of Defense, Russia’s Wagner mercenary group had taken control of most of eastern part of Bakhmut, with the Bakhmutka River marking the front line.
Ukrainian units were said to be situated in fortified buildings in the west of the city, making the river crossing “a killing zone,” and making a front assault “highly challenging,” the UK MOD said.
Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin had previously posted a video from the city, disputing Ukrainian claims that Wagner were running out of soldiers in the region.
The satellite imagery, captured by Maxar Technologies, shows a number of destoryed bridges across the Bakhmutka River as well as a number of damaged buildings that they said had been targeted by artillery.
