These images show Ukrainian soldiers carrying out night combat training with assault rifles and hitting mock targets.

The footage, filmed with a special night vision device, shows Ukrainian soldiers carrying out the special nocturnal warfare training with assault rifles.

Streaks of light can be seen as the soldiers open fire on mock targets with their weapons.

The images were obtained from the Separate Brigade Of Territorial Defence of the city of Dnipro on Wednesday, May, along with a statement saying: 'An ordinary video camera cannot record night training shootings - it is too dark.

'But a night vision device can help you see how things are going. All fighters go through similar training, because they are on duty at positions both during the day and at night.'

Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022 in what the Kremlin is still calling a 'special military operation'.
