This footage shows Ukrainian forces taking out a Russian 'Hyacinth' field gun and an ammunition vehicle.
The images show the moment the field gun is hit by Ukrainian ordnance. It can be seen burning profusely after being blown up.
Images filmed by Ukrainian forces also show the field gun hidden among some trees shortly before it was hit.
The images were obtained from the 44th Artillery Brigade of the Ukrainian Ground Forces, also known as the 44th Separate Artillery Brigade named after Hetman Danylo Apostol, on Sunday, September 4, along with a statement saying: "Enemy 2A36 'Hyacinth-B' gun and a truck with ammo were neutralized.
"Fighters of the 44th Separate Artillery Brigade named after Hetman Danylo Apostol are skilfully fighting the invaders and continue to destroy the military equipment of the occupiers. Glory to Ukraine!"
Zenger News contacted the head of the public relations service of the Ground Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Major Fityo Volodymyr, who confirmed that the footage was authentic and that the information was accurate.
The images and statement were also relayed by the Office of Strategic Communications (StratCom) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The 2A36 'Hyacinth-B' is a Russian towed field gun that first saw action in the mid-1970s.
Zenger News also contacted the Russian Ministry of Defense for a comment, but had not received a reply at the time of writing.
Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24 in what the Kremlin is still calling a "special military operation". Monday marks the 194th day of the war.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that between February 24 and September 5, Russia had lost about 49,800 personnel, 2,068 tanks, 4,459 armored combat vehicles, 1,157 artillery units, 294 multiple launch rocket systems, 156 air defense systems, 236 warplanes, 206 helicopters, 867 drones, 205 cruise missiles, 15 warships, 3,286 motor vehicles and fuel tankers, and 107 units of special equipment.
Russia has claimed that its casualties have been much lower, but provides infrequent updates on its latest figures.
Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelensky, said on Sunday, September 4, that Ukraine had made progress in its counteroffensive against Russian forces, retaking two settlements in the south of the country and a third one in eastern Ukraine.
President Zelensky said: “The Ukrainian flags are returning to the places where they should be by right.”
Russian authorities said that the situation around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which is Europe’s largest, was calm on Sunday, September 4.
This comes after UN inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Saturday, September 3, that the Russian-occupied plant, in southern Ukraine, had lost external power again.
The IAEA said in a statement that the last remaining primary external power line had been cut off, although a reserve line is continuing to supply electricity to the grid.
President Zelensky has warned Europe to expect a difficult winter after Russia shut down a main pipeline that supplies Russian gas to the continent. He said: “Russia is preparing a decisive energy blow on all Europeans for this winter.”
Russian energy company Gazprom had said on Friday evening that it was shutting down the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline to Germany indefinitely, after first halting the flow of gas for three days. Gazprom has blamed the move on “malfunctions”.
The move also came hours after G7 countries agreed to impose a price cap on Russian oil.
Ukraine’s Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal has thanked Germany for its solidarity in the face of the Russian invasion. But he added that Ukraine needs more weapons, including “modern combat tanks”.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Sunday, September 4, that the German government had been planning for a complete halt in gas deliveries from Russia in December. He has promised measures to lower prices, with Germany announcing a $64-billion package to tackle rising costs.
