Bahkmut, Ukraine
After shelling the crap out of remaining buildings, which had already had the crap shelled out of them, and any Ukrainian defenders left in the city (many of whom evacuated) Russia proclaimed that Bahkmut had been liberated. Currently there are about 100 civilians (out of a pre-war pop of 80,000) still living there, somewhere in the rubble.
Vid:
*Just a note for folks on the drones: drones by DJI and others usually have 3 speeds; Cinema, Normal and Sport. This footage is a bit jerky because the flyer is on Sport mode. Cinematic would have resulted in that nice smooth video that you've seen of landscapes and oceans and cities, while Normal would have been just a bit faster (the flyer has to be more careful with how quickly he/she toggles for forward, turns, descents, etc). Sport mode is great for things like flying low to a body of water towards a subject or following something that's moving fast - but camera (called a gimbal) movement gets more sensitive. Sports mode is also good for saving battery life or avoiding getting shot down.
