Drone footage reportedly shows a squad of Ukrainian troops attempting to mount into their M113 armored personnel carrier when a Russian anti tank guided missile (ATGM) flies in from the left of the frame and strikes the vehicle while the ramp is down.

Due to the poor quality of the Russian drone footage, it's hard to confirm if the vehicle is actually a Vietnam War-era M113 or some other APC style with a rear ramp. The footage also ends before an assessment can be made on how many troops were injured in the strike. Initial reports claim the incident happened in the vicinity of Bakhmut.
