The video shows Ukrainian troops storming the enemy position in an armored Husky vehicle, forcing Russian soldiers to take cover in a bunker. The paratroopers then deployed a TM-62 anti-tank mine into the shelter before retreating.

"Shortly after our troops pulled back, a powerful explosion destroyed the occupiers' shelter -- turning it into their final refuge. The strike was later confirmed by aerial reconnaissance," the command said.
