Read previewRussian forces are repeatedly carrying out large-scale infantry "meat assaults" on the city of Avdiivka, a Ukrainian commander said, CNN reported.
In the attacks, Russian troops swarm the eastern Ukrainian city with almost no cover, allowing Ukrainian drones to take them out with ease, per the report.
CNN shared footage of what appeared to be one such strike on exposed Russian soldiers, as well as images of "dead and dying" soldiers who had taken part in some of the attacks.
"They assault with a large number of personnel," "Teren," an artillery reconnaissance commander of Ukraine's 110th Mechanized Brigade, told CNN.
