Explosions caused by US-made HIMARS weaponry supplied to Ukraine in a bid to push back Russia's forces and retake the Kherson region.

The footage was obtained from the Chernihiv Regional Territorial Centre of Recruitment and Social Support, which said on Thursday, 4th August, that the footage shows "HIMARS working against the enemy in the Kherson region".

The United States has sent a number of High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) to Ukraine and are set to send more.

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.

The first grain ship exporting food from Ukraine under a deal brokered by Turkey and the United Nations has reached Turkey.
