Russian forces destroy fortified Ukrainian position with artillery before storming with troops

This footage allegedly shows the pro-Russian, so-called Donetsk People's Republic taking out Ukrainian positions using artillery before storming them with troops. The footage appears to show a series of explosions somewhere on the front lines in eastern Ukraine, with the so-called Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) claiming their victory over a fortified area was "decisive". The footage was obtained from the People's Militia of the DPR on Monday, 22nd August, with the DPR claiming in a statement that the images show: "the storming of a fortified area of the Armed Forces of Ukraine by the 11th regiment of the People's Militia of the DPR." The DPR claimed that it "prepared" the terrain using artillery before "fighters of the 11th Regiment of the [People's Militia] of the DPR carried out a decisive assault on one of the fortified areas of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, while destroying the enemy who was resisting." We have not been able to independently verify the claims or the footage.
