Russian armored units tried back-to-back assaults against the Ukrainian 60th Mechanized Brigade, but were sent into retreat both times after losing heavy tanks to hostile fire.

The first assault attempt ends when the lead vehicle is destroyed by a possible mine. The surviving troops dismount and flee to the rear vehicles which turn around and exfiltrate the area. A short time later, the APCs return with another tank and again the tank is destroyed, leading to another immediate retreat.
