This is the moment Ukrainian special ops soldiers destroy a Russian āTyphoonā armored vehicle with an improvised explosive device set up on a stretch of road.
The Command of the Special Operations Forces (SSO) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said they destroyed a Russian āTyphoonā: a family of multi-functional armored MRAP [Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected] vehicles manufactured by the Russian truck manufacturer Kamaz.
The Ukrainian military said the strike took place in the southern Ukrainian region of Kherson Oblast.
The SSO said: āKherson region: we turned the enemy into torches.
āThe enemyās Kamaz āTyphoonā, destroyed by our personnel, burned along with its contents in an instant.
āHere is another example of a successful ambush carried out by members of the SSO of Ukraine. In the enemyās rear in the Kherson region, our soldiers set out on the routes of the Russian military equipment.
āAfter mining a section of the road, Ukrainian SSO operators waited for a truck with the occupiers to drive past and remotely detonated an improvised explosive device. The result of the work ā completely destroyed enemy equipment and personnel.ā

Last week, Ukrainian officials said Russian forces attacked over 40 towns in the eastern Donbas region.
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree that makes it easier for Ukrainians in occupied areas to become citizens of Russia. He also scrapped the upper age limit for contractual service in the military.
Ukraine has called Russiaās offer to lift the blockade of its Black Sea ports in return for the lifting of some sanctions āblackmailā. The blockade has led to shortages in wheat and cooking oil across the world.
