Footage from just prior to the liberation of Klishchiivka shows Russian infantry attempting to retake a foothold in the town under the cover of darkness. However, their infiltration attempt is detected by an ADAM Tactical Group's drone thermal camera.

The Russian positions are relayed to a Ukrainian howitzer crew, and soon cluster munitions and conventional artillery rounds start bursting amid the Russian formation. The surviving Russian troops are forced to retreat, and their assault is thwarted.

Klishchiivka and Andriivka, two settlements just south of Bakhmut have recently fallen back into the hands of Ukraine after months of heavy fighting.
