Buildings erupt in flames as Russian attack on Bahkmut intensifies

BUILDINGS erupt in flames as Russian strikes the frontline city of Bakhmut, in the Donetsk region of Ukraine. Local residents can be seen walking in streets past wrecked buildings as loud explosions and gunfight sounded in background. Despite being scared, when asked why he is not evacuating from the town, local man struggled to answer. “Until my home is intact, until I am not hurt, I will stay here,” he said. Russian forces pressed forward their weeks-long drive to encircle and capture Bakhmut where the commander of Ukraine's ground forces described the situation as "extremely tense."
