| [Newsweek] An attack against Russian Wagner Group mercenaries in Soledar resulted in 25 deaths, Ukrainian officials claimed on Wednesday. The strike came after recent Russian statements of victory in the Ukrainian salt-mining town located 9 miles from another heavily contested battle area, Bakhmut. The paramilitary Wagner Group, headed by Russian businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin, has led forces in Soledar. A video originally posted by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook was reposted by Rob Lee, senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, on Twitter. He said the strikes were conducted by Ukraine's 45th artillery brigade on Wagner soldiers. The video shows a long-range view of troops in trenches, caught in the crosshairs and quickly taken out.
