This footage purportedly shows Russian artillery units firing on Ukrainian strongholds positioned along the right bank of the Dnieper River.

Multiple Ukrainian armoured vehicles, weapons, ammunition depots, and fortified positions, suffer daily damages or losses inflicted by soldiers from the 'Dnieper' military group with BM-27'Uragan' multiple rocket launchers, Russia's Ministry of Defence said.

It added in a statement on April 2: 'The crews of the multiple-launch rocket systems 'Uragan' are constantly on full combat readiness.

'Upon receiving a combat mission, they leave their shelters for firing positions and promptly prepare the rocket system for firing at newly identified targets.

'Fire adjustment is carried out in real-time mode with the assistance of units equipped with unmanned aerial vehicles. Interaction with reconnaissance units and UAV crews allows for destroying targets with minimal expenditure of ammunition at various distances.

'The result of the work is the destruction of strongholds and equipment of Ukrainian nationalists on the right bank of the Dnieper.'
