Recently released GoPro footage that was recorded inside of what's left of Bakhmut shows Ukrainian troops detonating some sort of unknown explosive device with small arms fire.

It's unclear when this video was filmed, but according to the source this was recorded recently. It appears as if the Ukrainians are shooting at an exposed landmine or something that is on the ground and visible, but due to the degradation in the quality of this video, it's hard to really tell.

I halfway thought about making this into a troll post claiming that this was evidence of Ukrainians fielding illegal explosive tipped ammunition, but every time I do something like that people start sending me pictures of my backyard because they're mad about a blogger's opinion on the internet, and honestly, I'd rather not shoot one of you guys in my backyard because you didn't get the joke.
