A platoon-sized element of Russian soldiers is watched by a Ukrainian reconnaissance drone as they move single file down a trench in defilade to protect them from hostile fire. However, an unspecified blast erupts from the center of their column, likely causing multiple casualties. The source of the blast may have been a mortar round or drone-dropped munition, but cannot be determined from the video with certainty.

The incident reportedly took place northwest of Donetsk city, near the airport.
