Brutal footage out of Ukraine shows what is likely a Russian UAZ buggy running over and detonating a landmine, resulting in a catastrophic kill on the vehicle which launches the half dozen onboard troops high into the air.

The exact context of the footage isn't confirmed at this point. Ukrainian accounts are claiming it shows a Russian UAZ vehicle being struck which is likely. Although, there are some Russian accounts claiming the video shows Ukrainians riding in a Willy's Jeep, a much less likely scenario. Additionally, there are also Russian Telegram accounts using the video to gripe about the awful situations their soldiers face, further adding to the likelihood that it is a Russian vehicle being destroyed.
