Graphic footage shows an ammo-laden Russian army vehicle being turned to scrap in a spectacular explosion after Ukrainian forces score a direct hit on it.
The video opens with several explosions breaking out in and around a devastated settlement among fields as Ukrainian forces shell the area.
The drone filming from the sky then zooms in on burning wreckage, which appears to be a Ural-4320 general-purpose off-road 6×6 vehicle daubed with a white "Z."
An explosion then fills the screen as the ammo inside the vehicle detonates and debris is flung all around
Fire then rages as a thick plume of dark smoke rises into the sky.
Zenger News obtained the footage from the 30th Independent Mechanized Brigade, a formation of the Ukrainian Ground Forces, on Monday.
The brigade said (in Ukrainian): "The enemy vehicle 'Ural' with ammunition destroyed by our soldiers burns no worse than the cruiser 'Moskva.'"
The Russian guided missile cruiser Moskva famously sunk in the Black Sea on April 14 after Ukrainian forces damaged the ship with two R-360 Neptune anti-ship missiles. Russia claimed the sinking was due to "stormy seas."
The 30th Independent Mechanized Brigade did not specify where in Ukraine the latest strike took place.
