Two views of a Ukrainian attack on a Russian trench near Zaporizhia captures the attack going afoul when Russian mines start detonating on the patrol as they take control of the unoccupied trench.

According to the source, the drone view you're looking at on the right side of the screen was taken from a Russian reconnaissance drone. The left side of the screen is the cell phone video recovered from a Ukrainian soldier who was KIA in this incident. The Russians synced the footage together and released it.

While we cannot independently verify the location of this footage at this time, it is believed to have been recorded somewhere near the village of Piatykhatky
