A Ukrainian observation drone identifies a squad of Russian soldiers seeking shelter in the cellar of a rubbled house. An M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle rapidly responds to the report by charging in and collapsing the basement doorway into the ground. It then hammers the area with main gun fire as it withdraws to friendly lines.

The operation was carried out by the Ukrainian 47th Mechanized Brigade in the vicinity of Avdiivka.
