Ukrainian forces successfully destroyed a convoy of at least seven Russian vehicles in the occupied Donetsk region, according to a statement from Ukraine’s 79th Independent Airborne Assault Brigade. The brigade posted a video on its Telegram channel documenting the attack in the area of Novomykhailivka.
The 62-second video, set to the song “I Am the Fire” by Ghost Monroe, showcases aerial views of the convoy being struck from different angles and times of day. The footage reveals multiple infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) being hit and exploding. The brigade described the event as “a real portal to hell,”.

The post detailed how the operation involved drone operators, anti-tank gunners, and sappers who strategically placed mines. Despite some Russian soldiers managing to take shelter in a house, Ukrainian aviation forces ensured no escape, hitting targets with precision.
Ukrainian internal affairs adviser Anton Gerashchenko also shared the video on his X (formerly Twitter) account, emphasizing the impact of the attack. He noted, “Powerful footage: several IFVs were burned down in a small area, one vehicle continues to move with dead Russian soldiers right on its armor.”
