Ukrainian forces destroy Russian amphibious armoured vehicle
These images purport to show the moment Ukrainian forces take out a Russian amphibious armoured vehicle.

The images show a military vehicle on a road in a forested area before it is hit, with explosions causing it to catch fire.

It is currently unclear where exactly the footage was filmed but the images were obtained from the 30th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Ground Forces on Wednesday, 8th June.

The war in Ukraine is currently raging in the eastern part of the country.

The 30th Mechanized Brigade said: "Our tankers are aware of how important it is to save the country and people's lives, so without thinking, they just do their job.

A matter that is very effective and fruitful is the destruction of the enemy. The enemy BMP burns."

'BMP' refers to an amphibious infantry fighting vehicle first developed by the Soviet Union and currently used primarily by the Russian Armed Forces.
