Footage shows a Russian armored column carrying out an offensive assault in the vicinity of Marinka, a western suburb of Donetsk city, when Ukrainian Stugna-P anti tank guided missiles (ATGM) begin knocking out the Russian vehicles, forcing them to abandon their attack.

Marinka fell to Russian forces several months ago, although there are packets of Ukrainian military still holding western parts of the city and guarding the flanks. Russian forces are said to have lost 9,000 men in the Donetsk region, just in the month of November 2023. Many of those casualties were in places like Marinka, Avdiivka, and near Bakhmut.
