A Ukrainian multiple rocket launcher vehicle fires missile salvos at the Russian invaders.

The vehicle appears to be a BM-21 'Grad' multiple rocket launcher vehicles and it can be seen in the footage manoeuvring into position somewhere on the front lines in Ukraine before letting off a salvo of rockets.

Footage then reportedly shows the rockets hitting Russian targets. The video then shows the BM-21 'Grad' in a field of sunflowers, letting off another volley of missiles.

The footage was obtained from the 58th Independent Motorised Infantry Brigade of the Ukrainian Ground Forces - also known as the 58th Separate Motorised Infantry Brigade named after hetman Ivan Vyhovskyi - on Wednesday, 3rd August, with the brigade simply saying that it was disrupting the enemy's "disco".

The footage was also relayed by the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as by the Office of Strategic Communications (StratCom) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It is currently unclear where exactly on the frontlines this footage was filmed.

Russia invaded Ukraine on 24th February in what the Kremlin is calling a "special military operation". Today marks the 162nd day of the invasion.

Russia has claimed that its casualties have been much lower, but provides infrequent updates on its latest figures.
