The commander of Ukraine's ground forces has reported that Russian troops are implementing scorched earth tactics as they strive to seize the devastated city of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine. The method involves airstrikes and artillery fire to level any buildings or locations occupied by Ukrainian defenders. The Ukrainian soldiers are facing extreme pressure in the city, which has already been ruined, with fires engulfing structures and troops battling fiercely block by block. In recent weeks, Russia has gained ground in villages to the north and south of Bakhmut, and violent clashes have taken place in the city's center.
