Cell phone video of a laptop displaying a drone feed shows Ukrainian forces harassing rear-echelon Russian units who are digging defensive positions with a piece of heavy equipment.

The machinery seen in this video does not appear to be well armored. Immediately following the first explosion, the Russian operating the machinery can be seen utilizing the trench he just dug as a piece of cover. It's unclear what the results of this attack are as the video cuts before a proper battle damage assessment can be made by the drone crew.
