Ukraine fires MLRS artillery at Russian positions near Bakhmut

Ukraine Armed Forces released on Tuesday (May 9, 2023) video showing multiple launch rocket systems firing near Bakhmut. Reuters was not able to independently confirm the location of the video or the date it was filmed. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Tuesday Russian forces had failed to capture the eastern city of Bakhmut before the May 9 Russian holiday marking the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in World War Two. Fierce fighting in Bakhmut has lasted months and Moscow sees capturing the city as a stepping stone to taking other cities in Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland.
