GoPro footage released by members of the 3rd Assault Brigade near Bakhmut shows an assault unit advancing through dominated and decimated Russian fighting positions.

Judging from the carnage, this operation appears to be more of a mop up mission than a full scale assault. Even during operations of this type, it's important to keep an aggressive posture, as enemy fighters who don't want to surrender could easily ambush your unit as you maneuver through their positions.

It's unclear what prefaced this assault.
