Ukraine forces destroy 3 Russian multiple rocket launchers in Sievierodonetsk
These images purport to show Ukrainian special forces destroying three Russian multiple rocket launcher vehicles in the Luhansk region in eastern Ukraine.
The Ukrainians have said that the vehicles had been used to shell the city of Sievierodonetsk.
The images appear to show the Russian multiple rocket launcher vehicles being hit by Ukrainian artillery fire, leaving them destroyed and on fire, with black smoke rising into the air.
The footage was obtained from the Command of the Special Operations Forces (SSO) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Monday, 13th June, along with the following statement: "Luhansk region: hunting for the enemy. Thanks to the SSO of Ukraine, three enemy Grads were burned."
The BM-21 Grad is a multiple rocket launcher vehicle originally built in the Soviet Union.
The SSO added: "During reconnaissance of the enemy's rear in the Sievierodonetsk direction, our operators discovered several MLRS BM-21 'Grad' installations.
"The enemy used them to shell Sievierodonetsk, other settlements and positions of the Defence Forces of Ukraine."
They added that after having established the exact coordinates of the enemy vehicles, their soldiers relayed this information to artillerymen operating M777 howitzers.
The SSO added: "Our colleagues destroyed 3 out of 4 enemy MLRS installations with accurate fire. Another Grad installation was damaged as a result of the shelling."
Russian troops invaded Ukraine on 24th February in what the Kremlin is still calling a "special military operation". Today marks the 110th day of the campaign.
The footage and the statement were also relayed by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which reported that between 24th February and 13th June, Russia had lost 32,300 personnel, 1,432 tanks, 3,492 armoured fighting vehicles, 718 artillery systems, 226 multiple launch rocket systems, 97 anti-aircraft systems, 213 warplanes

Russian tank blown up while navigating Ukrainian
MOMENT unsuspecting Russian tank navigating a Ukrainian minefield is blown to pieces as soldiers watch on.
The images first show two Russian tanks making their way across a ploughed field.
Although there is a road running parallel just next to them it appears to be blocked by wreckage of an earlier incident and as a result, the tanks head over the field in single file.
Suddenly, the first tank apparently hits a mine, causing a large explosion. The vehicle comes to a stop, with the second tank stopping a safe distance behind it. A third tank can be seen having joined the convoy a short distance behind the second tank.
The footage then cuts to what appears to be a Russian military vehicle having made its way close to where the tank at the head of the convoy blew up, perhaps in a bid to rescue any soldiers still alive inside it.

Ukraine's Zelensky appeals for more aid against Russian
UKRAINE'S President Volodymyr Zelensky appealed for more aid against brutal Russian air strikes last night.
In his nightly address the president said that his “partners need to move faster if they are really partners, not observers” saying that within 24 hours Russia had fired 72 weapons. He said leaders meeting at the G7 summit in Germany had the potential to stop Russian "aggression. "
Russia has stepped up air strikes on Ukraine this weekend, which has also seen the fall of a strategic eastern city to pro-Russian forces.
"It's more of their barbarism," said U.S. President Biden, referring to the missile strikes on Kyiv, as leaders from the Group of Seven (G7) rich democracies gathered for a summit in Germany.

MOMENT a HUGE Russian bomb is removed from apartment block in Kharkiv, Ukraine.
The bomb which hit a residential building in the city's Saltivka district in March was deactivated the day after the attack but the non-stop shelling of the area in the weeks that followed made it impossible to remove the bomb itself.
A specialist team of the Ukrainian Emergency Ministry used a crane and a forklift to dislodge the bomb from the roof and remove.

Lithuania 'ready' for Moscow RETALIATION over EU blockade of Kaliningrad
Lithuania is 'prepared' if Russia disconnects it from the regional power grid in retaliation for blocking rail shipments of some Russian goods to Moscow's Kaliningrad exclave the president said on Wednesday.
He spoke after the Kremlin warned Lithuania on Tuesday, that Moscow would respond to the ban on the transit of goods sanctioned by the EU to Kaliningrad in such a way that citizens of the Baltic state would feel the pain.
With relations between Moscow and the West at a half-century low over Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Lithuania banned the transit of goods sanctioned by the European Union across its territory to and from Kaliningrad, citing EU sanction rules.
Kaliningrad is sandwiched between NATO members Poland and Lithuania and supplied by rail via the territory of Lithuania.
Lithuania shut the route for transport of steel and other ferrous metals from mainland Russia on Saturday (June 18) saying it had to do so under EU sanctions that took effect that day.
"We are ready and we are prepared for unfriendly actions from Russia (in response), such as disconnection from the BRELL (power grid) system, or others," Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda said.
Thirty years after seceding from the then-Soviet Union and 17 years since joining the EU, Baltic states Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia still depend on Russia for stable power supplies.
However, Lithuania installed equipment on its power link to Poland last year to connect with the continental European grid quickly as an insurance policy in case Russia cuts off the flow of electricity, potentially causing blackouts.
Nauseda said Lithuania's status as a member of NATO meant Russia would not "challenge us in military sense".
He also said Lithuania will be expanding the list of goods it bars from reaching Kaliningrad, as phase-in periods for the EU sanctions are reached.

Boris Johnson HITS BACK back at Prince Charles' alleged comments on
BORIS Johnson on Monday insisted his Rwanda plan was the "right thing" to do following blistering criticism from Prince Charles.
A row erupted this weekend when it was revealed the heir to the throne had privately branded the policy "appalling".
While sidestepping a full-blown public bust-up with the next King, the PM staunchly defended the controversial plan.
Asked if Charles was wrong, he told LBC: "What I don't think we should support is continued activity by criminal gangs."
He added: "I do think that it's the job of Government to stop people breaking the law and to support people who are doing the right thing; that's what we are doing."
Mr Johnson and the Prince of Wales are set to come face to face in Rwanda for the heads of Commonwealth meeting next week.
