New aerial footage from the Ukrainian military shows the severe impact of war on Myrnohrad, a town in the Donetsk region. The visuals detail widespread destruction in an area that was home to over 45,000 people before Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022.
The video, released by the Ukrainian Defence Forces, offers a stark overhead view. It captures damaged and destroyed buildings, shattered infrastructure, and empty streets.
The town's pre-war population highlights the human cost of the conflict. Myrnohrad's residents are among the millions of Ukrainians who have been forced to flee their homes.
The drone footage serves as a direct record of the war's physical toll. It provides visual evidence of the ongoing battle for control in Ukraine's industrial east.
