Aftermath drone footage and still images shows absolute destruction of Russian combat vehicles that were clustered near a pontoon bridging operation on the Siverskyi Donets River, east of Kharkiv. Literally dozens of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles can be seen burned out and abandoned, likely the result of a hellacious and prolonged artillery barrage by Ukrainian forces.

Ukrainian artillery teams used the narrow bridging operation as a funnel or checkpoint that would force several Russian units into a confined area and then proceeded to batter the bridge and surrounding landscape with high explosive artillery shells and rockets.
