Footage from the Ukrainian 47th Mechanize Brigade shows a loitering munition strike against a Russian BMP that results in an awe-inspiring catastrophic destruction of the vehicle.

It appears the vehicle was fully loaded with gear which means it was probably being rotated to the front with fresh supplies, including a significant amount of ammunition, which is what caused such a powerful blast.

The incident occurred in the vicinity of Stepove, a small village north of Avdiivka, a Donetsk city suburb.
