Ukrainian army release new footage of fierce fighting near Bakhmut,
Ukraine's military released a video on Monday (October 30) purportedly showing infantry soldiers coming under artillery and drone fire near Bakhmut.

Russia has significantly bulked up its forces around the devastated city of Bakhmut in the east and has switched its troops from a defensive posture to taking "active actions," a Ukrainian military commander said on Monday.

Russia captured Bakhmut, the scene of some of the bloodiest fighting of the 20-month war, in May. Ukraine has been on the counteroffensive since June to try to retake occupied land in the south and east, including the town.
