Aerial of Russian APC shooting at residential buildings ANNOTATION: Marinka is in Ukraine's Donetsk province, where territory is roughly split between Russian and Ukrainian control. ANNOTATION: Combat between Russian-backed forces and Ukrainian troops has raged in the region since 2014. 3. Aerial pan of city STORYLINE: The hulking Russian tank swivelled into position between the ruins of two pulverized apartment blocks, paused and fired, a ball of fire and fumes spewing from the muzzle of its cannon. Just 12 seconds later, it fired again, hurling another shell at its targets about 50 meters (yards) away on the other side of what had once been a street — many years ago, before fighting destroyed it. Although Friday marked the grim first anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, combat between Russian-backed forces and Ukrainian troops has raged in the country's east since 2014. The town of Marinka is among those that have been reduced to rubble. It is in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk province, where territory is roughly split between Russian and Ukrainian control. The front line runs through what is left of the town — which is very little. New video footage shot from the air with a drone for The Associated Press showed how particularly intense fighting since the February 24, 2022, invasion has left no building in Marinka intact. Many are barely recognizable as buildings at all. Shell-fire has also made matchsticks of the town’s trees — many of them ripped apart at the trunk. Russian tank-fire, filmed earlier in February, further added to the destruction, pounding what appeared to be Ukrainian positions amid the ruins.
