French media outlets reported the attack took place late Tuesday afternoon in the vicinity of Chasiv Yar, a town near Bakhmut. Russian forces have been trying to capture the city for months. Soldin was 32 years old and born in Sarajevo, now the capital of Bosnia, according to the French media reports.
