Footage from a failed Russian armored assault on Avdiivka shows a column of Russian vehicles getting hit and destroyed one-by-one. An armored personnel carrier at the rear of the convoy sees the carnage and turns around, attempting to escape the same fate.

The fleeing Russian APC is able to retreat several hundred meters, but is struck in the rear by an anti tank guided missile and it promptly bursts into flames. The Russian offensive to take Avdiivka has been costly in both equipment and manpower.
