Bakhmut mayor Oleksiy Reva released a video recorded in the town bombed and mutilated by the enemy, where almost not a single house survived the shelling of the Russian invaders.

The video was posted on the mayor’s Facebook page.

The video shows a ruined town with bombed-out houses. Among them are many historical buildings, residential buildings with broken roofs and walls, with holes instead of windows, many of them are burned out from the inside. Also, there is a large number of destroyed shops, pharmacies, schools, and churches. In the streets of the city, there are toppled poles of power lines, broken wires, a lot of construction debris, fragments of enemy shells, and shell craters.

The video also shows destroyed gas stations, a bombed-out bridge, a broken amusement park, and children's playgrounds ruined with explosions. The monument to the soldiers fallen in World War II did not survive either.

"Bakhmut is an unbreakable town," Reva wrote.

As reported, Donetsk region is under constant Russian fire.

In Bakhmut and Avdiivka directions, the invaders focus their main efforts on conducting offensive operations and trying to improve their tactical position.
