A Ukrainian mortar team released a highlight reel of recent fire missions in support of ongoing counteroffensives near Bakhmut. Some of the "hits" shown in the video we have published previously, but with this footage we are now able to confirm that mortars were the nature of attack.

While Russian Wagner mercenaries continued to push west in an attempt to gain control of the last remaining city blocks still held by Ukrainian force in Bakhmut, flanking assaults were carried out and are still under way by Ukrainian troops, and they have reportedly took some relatively high ground of tactical importance. This mortar team was undoubtedly crucial in suppressing and destroying enemy units so Ukrainian maneuver elements could advance.
