Russia's 'Scorched Earth' Tactics on Display in Bakhmut Incendiary Attack

The eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut was bombed in an apparent incendiary attack on Friday, just hours after news broke that Wagner Group mercenaries aiding Russia would withdraw from the region. The attack highlights Russia's brutal "scorched earth" tactics in the war. Videos circulated on social media early Friday, showing the Ukrainian city ablaze with a glow that prompted military analysts to suggest chemical weapons had been used. Russian forces have lost at least five soldiers for every Ukrainian soldier killed while defending Bakhmut.
