Drone footage shows a pair of Russian BTR-type infantry fighting vehicles advancing toward Ukrainian positions when they come under fire, which rapidly stifles the attack.

The lead vehicle takes a direct head-on hit from what appears to be an anti tank guided missile. At least some of the vehicle's occupants immediately bail and treat on foot. The following vehicle decides to turn around and flee the area.

Although the first BTR continues driving forward, it's possible that it is abandoned, ghost riding on its own. The incident likely occurred at or around the Avdiivka front in Donetsk.
