Inside Ukraine’s elite sniper unit conducting night raids – BBC News
Ukrainian forces are trying to retake the eastern city of Bakhmut from Russia.
The BBC was given exclusive access to a team of elite snipers, referred to as the ‘Ghosts of Bakhmut’, who are conducting night raids nearby.
The team of about 20 soldiers have been operating on the edges of Bakhmut for the past six months.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

As a vet I don’t think it’s beneficial to continue bragging about Ukrainian success or future plan.
As I predicted before, look what happened to the fail/slow Ukraine counterattack. Russia will go back and adjust or using similar tactics…

The most blatantly obvious group of Nazis and here the BBC are foaming at the mouth to praise them.
The west continues to support fascists. They supported the Afghan Mujahideen, they supported the FSA and now theyre supporting the Ukrainian alt-right. It's their agenda.

The West is responsible for this war. NATO should have respected it borders after the Cold War. Russia has every right to fight for its existence, and equally, it's a fight against imperialism.

Smart. Unlike in movies the best place to shoot from is an elevated position inside of a building and laying down a desk/table. That way the muzzle flash can't be seen and you can't be seen by casual observation from someone looking through the window. Obviously should pick a spot where the glass is already broken but in a warzone that's constantly being shelled it isn't an issue.

The war would be over in a day if Zelenskiy resigned. He's a very stupid man and the primary reason for the continuation of the war. Russia will not relent. And there's no question they are achieving their objectives. Russia will not allow any leader to be pro nato and fair enough too. The US and the West are typical and predictable in their hypocrisy.

Profits means more money 💰 for mansions and super yachts and private jets and other good things in life. 😊
