Reconnaissance drone footage released by Russian sources captures a Ukrainian T-64BV traveling down a road near Avdiivka. At about 38 seconds into the video, a rocket propelled grenade can be seen coming from the left side of the screen. The round misses the tank and impacts a tree directly behind it, exploding simultaneously as the T-64BV hits a landmine.

Following the mine strike, the crew bails from the vehicle and abandons it. According to the Russian source, they later destroyed the disabled tank by dropping a grenade inside of it from a drone.
