Prigozhin's private Wagner army captured Bakhmut last month after the longest battle of the war and handed its positions there to regular Russian troops.
Russia's defence ministry released video of what it said showed several Ukrainian armoured vehicles in a field blowing up after being hit. Reuters geo-located it to near Velyka Novosilka, a village west of Vuhledar in southern Donetsk region, but could not verify the date. Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak poured scorn on the report."Russian news reports have long since become a separate virtual meta-universe," he tweeted.
